✦ Synopsis


Molecular similarity methods are providing new tools for searching molecular databases, selecting compounds for drug screening, predicting molecular properties and modeling drug receptor sites (Johnson et al., 1987; Maggiora et al., 1987). This paper positions these methods amongst the more traditional a priori and algebraic methods for predicting property values and for finding a compound with a desired property value.

Instances where these methods may complement each other are also noted.

String comparison techniques were developed and applied for measuring the molecular similarity of chemical structures. The molecular structures were encoded as a sequence of numbers representing counts of paths of different lengths. The similarity index between two compounds was calculated as the di

A formalism is presented for quantifying the similarity between any two molecules. The chemical descriptor used for comparison is the molecular electrostatic potential at the van der Waals surface. Thus, both the spatial properties of a molecule and its chemical features are captured in this approac
