Don't look sharp, look fuzzy . A technique for “fuzzy” pharmacophore screening is presented. Two prospective applications with RNA targets were performed: virtual screening for inhibitors of the Tat‐TAR RNA interaction and in vitro protein expression. The hits contain alternative scaffolds and were found through a fuzzy pharmacophore model (see figure) of ligand binding poses.
