Python Prescription (PyRx) -  Virtual Screening Tool
===================
PyRx is a Virtual Screening software for Computational Drug Discovery 
that can be used to screen libraries of compounds against potential drug targets. 
PyRx enables Medicinal Chemists to run Virtual Screening form any platform and 
helps users in every step of this process - from data preparation to job submission 
and analysis of the results. While it is true that there is no magic button in the drug 
discovery process, PyRx wizard features easy-to-use user interface and chemical 
spreadsheet like functionality that makes it a valuable tool for Rational Drug Design.
