# In silico

In silico describes research carried out by computer simulation or computational analysis. Examples in peptide science include predicting physicochemical properties, modelling structures, docking peptides to receptor models and screening virtual libraries. In silico results generate hypotheses that require confirmation by laboratory experiments.
