About
Pharmit is a web server that facilitates virtual screening: it enables users to search for small molecules based on their structural and chemical similarity to another small molecule, with the goal of identifying those that bind to a target molecule (typically a protein receptor or enzyme). The search can take as input either a small molecule, a set of pharmacophore features (which will be subsequently described in greater detail), or both a protein and a pharmacophore or a small molecule for which a putative binding pose is known. This help follows the 4pps example, which the user may choose to follow simultaneously by clicking the link, or by other search initiation methods described below.
