## Abstract Finding a set of molecules, which closely resemble a given lead molecule, from a database containing potentially billions of chemical structures is an important but daunting problem. Similar molecular shapes are particularly important, given that in biology small organic molecules frequ

## Abstract Similarity networks of ligands are often reported useful in predicting chemical activities and target proteins. However, the naive method of computing all pairwise similarities of chemical fingerprints takes quadratic time, which is prohibitive for large scale databases with millions of
Databases are increasingly being used to store multimedia objects such as maps, images, audio, and video. Storage and retrieval of these objects is accomplished using multidimensional index structures such as R \* -trees and SS-trees. As dimensionality increases, query performance in these index str
