Pharmacophore and Docking Based Virtual Screening of Validated Mycobacterium tuberculosis Targets.

Target based virtual screening has surpassed ligand based virtual screening methods in the recent past mainly as it provides more clues regarding intermolecular interactions and takes into consideration the flexible receptor as well. The current methodology describes a computational strategy of predicting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) binders for five well studied targets representing M.
