One can envisage several alternatives to further enhance VS predictions if experiments are not accessible/available. More than one score function might be combined to produce a consensus top-ranked list, while X-ray screening have recently identified allosteric sites that might provide a wider description of virus target. In addition, pockets are not static but prone to modifications in in vivo conditions, and a preliminary molecular dynamics (MD) stage could be implemented to produce trajectories of the targets.33 A series of representative structures (or clusters) can be subsequently used for conducting VS simulations. MD might be also used to confirm the stability of the binding pose.Finally, the simulation of a reduced number of drugs allows to use of more advanced levels of theory, e. g., ab initio or multiscale QM/MM.
