Identification of Histamine H3 Receptor Ligands Using a New Crystal Structure Fragment-based Method
Abstract Virtual screening offers an efficient alternative to high-throughput screening in the identification of pharmacological tools and lead compounds. Virtual screening is typically based on the matching of target structures or ligand pharmacophores to commercial or in-house compound catalogues....

Abstract Virtual screening offers an efficient alternative to high-throughput screening in the identification of pharmacological tools and lead compounds.
