Spresso: an ultrafast compound pre-screening method based on compound decomposition

摘要

MotivationRecently, the number of available protein tertiary structures and compounds has increased. However, structure-based virtual screening is computationally expensive owing to docking simulations. Thus, methods that filter out obviously unnecessary compounds prior to computationally expensive docking simulations have been proposed. However, the calculation speed of these methods is not fast enough to evaluate ≥ 10 million compounds.
