{{main|Virtual screening}}
In contrast to [[high-throughput screening]], virtual screening involves computationally
screening ''in silico'' libraries of compounds, by means of various methods such as
[[docking (molecular)|docking]], to identify members likely to possess desired properties
such as [[biological activity]] against a given target. In some cases, [[combinatorial chemistry]] is used in the development of the library to increase the efficiency in mining the chemical space. More commonly, a diverse library of small molecules or [[natural product]]s is screened.
