The introduction of AlphaFold2 (AF2) has sparked significant enthusiasm and generated extensive discussion within the scientific community, particularly among drug discovery researchers. Although previous studies have addressed the performance of AF2 structures in virtual screening (VS), a more comprehensive investigation is still necessary considering the paramount importance of structural accuracy in drug design. In this study, we evaluate the performance of AF2 structures in VS across three common drug discovery scenarios: targets with holo , apo , and AF2 structures; targets with only apo and AF2 structures; and targets exclusively with AF2 structures...
