Table 1 Overview of the steps necessary to apply the two presented approaches to extend similarities

From: Improving structural similarity based virtual screening using background knowledge

Step

A: by-hand approach

B: mining-based approach

1

Review literature/examine structure

Calculate frequently occurring

 

to determine BI

substructures (BI) in known

  

ligands with FTM

2

Fragment relevant substructure

Build fingerprint from

 

and build binary occurrence

frequently occurring

 

fingerprint from all fragments

substructures
