Fingerprints entail a conceptual depiction of specific structural attributes within a molecule.
Given a potent active molecule, find similar ones or reverse(dissimilar) but also potent.
Given a set of active & inactive molecules build a model to predict which members from a large collection will be active
Given a set of molecules, do they cluster into structurally different groups.
Numerous varieties of fingerprints exist, with 'keyed' fingerprints denoting the presence or absence of distinct structural attributes. The length of these fingerprints can range from 166 to 4096 bits or even more.
