An overview of molecular fingerprint similarity search in virtual screening
11 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: A central premise of medicinal chemistry is that structurally similar molecules exhibit similar biological activities. Molecular fingerprints encode properties of small molecules and assess their similarities computationally through bit string comparisons. Based on the similarity to a biologically active template, molecular fingerprint methods allow for identifying additional compounds with a higher...
