Life beyond the Tanimoto coefficient: similarity measures for interaction fingerprints

Abstract Background Interaction fingerprints (IFP) have been repeatedly shown to be valuable tools in virtual screening to identify novel hit compounds that can subsequently be optimized to drug candidates. As a complementary method to ligand docking, IFPs can be applied to quantify the similarity o...
