Probabilistic Approach for Virtual Screening Based on Multiple Pharmacophores
Pharmacophore modeling is usually considered as a special type of virtual screening without probabilistic nature. Correspondence of at least one conformation of a molecule to pharmacophore is considered as evidence of its bioactivity.

SQUIRRELnovo : de novo design of a PPARalpha agonist by bioisosteric replacement [PDF]
Shape complementarity is a compulsory condition for molecular recognition. In our 3D ligand-based virtual screening approach called SQUIRREL, we combine shape-based rigid body alignment with fuzzy pharmacophore scoring.
