Abstract
Similarity measures for molecules are of basic importance in chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical applications. We introduce a molecular similarity measure defined directly on the annotated molecular graph, based on iterative graph similarity and optimal assignments. We give an iterative algorithm for the computation of the proposed molecular similarity measure, prove its convergence and the uniqueness of the solution, and provide an upper bound on the required number of iterations necessary to achieve a desired precision. Empirical evidence for the positive semidefiniteness of certain parametrizations of our function is presented. We evaluated our molecular similarity measure by using it as a kernel in support vector machine classification and regression applied to several pharmaceutical and toxicological data sets, with encouraging results.

Felix Reisen, Martin Weisel, Jan M. Kriegl, and Gisbert SchneiderJournal of Proteome Research2010 9 (12), 6498-6510Patterns of receptor−ligand interaction can be conserved in functionally equivalent proteins even in the absence of sequence homology. Therefore, structural comparison of ligand-binding pockets and their pharmacophoric features allow for the ...

Kurt De Grave and Fabrizio CostaJournal of Chemical Information and Modeling2010 50 (9), 1660-1668Molecular graphs are a compact representation of molecules but may be too concise to obtain optimal generalization performance from graph-based machine learning algorithms. Over centuries, chemists have learned what are the important functional groups in ...

Nikolas Fechner, Andreas Jahn, Georg Hinselmann and Andreas ZellJournal of Chemical Information and Modeling2009 49 (3), 549-560In this work, we introduce a new method to regard the geometry in a structural similarity measure by approximating the conformational space of a molecule. Our idea is to break down the molecular conformation into the local conformations of neighbor atoms ...
