# Virtual Screening Pipeline
**Discipline**: Drug Discovery | **Tools Used**: 4 | **Servers**: 3
## Description
Virtual screening: search PubChem by substructure, compute similarity, filter by drug-likeness, and predict binding affinity.
## Tools Used
- **`search_pubchem_by_smiles`** from `pubchem-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/8/Origene-PubChem`
- **`calculate_smiles_similarity`** from `server-2` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/2/DrugSDA-Tool`
- **`calculate_mol_drug_chemistry`** from `server-2` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/2/DrugSDA-Tool`
- **`boltz_binding_affinity`** from `server-3` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/3/DrugSDA-Model`
## Workflow
1. Search similar compounds in PubChem
2. Compute molecular similarity
3. Filter by drug-likeness
4. Predict binding affinity
## Test Case
### Input
```json
{
"query_smiles": "c1ccc(-c2ccccc2)cc1",
"target_protein": "MKTIIALSYIFCLVFA"
}
```
### Expected Steps
1. Search similar compounds in PubChem
2. Compute molecular similarity
3. Filter by drug-likeness
4. Predict binding affinity
## Usage Example
> **Note:** Replace `sk-b04409a1-b32b-4511-9aeb-22980abdc05c` with your own SCP Hub API Key. You can obtain one from the [SCP Platform](https://scphub.intern-ai.org.cn).
