Computer-Assisted Screening of Mycobacterial Growth Inhibitors

Background: The emergence of frequent hitters (FHs) remains a challenge in drug discovery. We have previously used in silico structure-based drug screening (SBDS) to identify antimycobacterial candidates. However, excluding FHs has not been integrated into the SBDS system. Methods: A dataset comprising 15,000 docking score (protein–compound affinity matrix) was constructed by multiple target screening (MTS): DOCK–GOLD two-step docking...
