References for more technical details have been provided where relevant. The authors have paid special attention to highlighting resources that are readily accessible to the academic community and hope these will facilitate your research aims. Demonstrative workflows have been included at the end of the e-book to allow you to familiarize yourself with the general steps involved in a virtual library screening pipeline. Familiarity with basic python and command line interface may be helpful in these examples, but scripts and execution instructions have been provided to guide you through the entire workflow. The input datasets used in the demonstrative examples are derived from the authors’ in-house virtual library, but the exercises may be adapted to other datasets of the reader’s choice.
