Improving structural similarity based virtual screening using background knowledge
BACKGROUND Virtual screening in the form of similarity rankings is often applied in the early drug discovery process to rank and prioritize compounds from a database. This similarity ranking can be achieved with structural similarity measures. However, their general nature can lead to insufficient performance in some application cases. In this paper, we provide a link between ranking-based virt...
متن کاملSimilarity-based virtual screening using 2D fingerprints.
This paper summarizes recent work at the University of Sheffield on virtual screening methods that use 2D fingerprint measures of structural similarity. A detailed comparison of a large number of similarity coefficients demonstrates that the well-known Tanimoto coefficient remains the method of choice for the computation of fingerprint-based similarity, despite possessing some inherent biases r...
متن کاملAn algorithm for similarity-based virtual screening
The virtual screening methods and techniques become one of the important and sophisticated ways of drug discovery, and molecules clustering, they are many methods proposed and applied in virtual screening, most of these screening methods used similarity coefficients to quantify the extent to which objects resemble one another. The result of using these similarity coefficients achieves a good re...
متن کاملMethods for Similarity-based Virtual Screening
Developing new medical drugs is expensive. Among the first steps is a screening process, in which molecules in existing chemical libraries are tested for activity against a given target. This requires a lot of resources and manpower. Therefore it has become common to perform a virtual screening, where computers are used for predicting the activity of very large libraries of molecules, to identi...
متن کاملSimilarity-based approaches to virtual screening.
Current similarity measures for virtual screening are based on the use of molecular fingerprints and the Tanimoto coefficient. This paper describes two ways in which one can increase the effectiveness of similarity-based virtual screening: using similarity coefficients other than the Tanimoto coefficient for the comparison of molecular fingerprints; and using a graph-theoretic similarity measur...
