\section{Virtual Screening}  The goal of virtual, or \textit{in silico}, screening is to computationally identify small molecules in a compound library  that are active against a given target. Virtual screening methods usually adopt either a ligand-based approach, where properties of known active compounds are used to identify additional compounds, or a structure-based approach, where the interactions between putative ligands and the receptor structure are used. \subsection{Ligand-Based}
