PMapper - 3D pharmacophore hashes

Encoding of 3D pharmacophores with hashes. This representation is suitable for fast detection of identical pharmacophores without their explicit alignment. It was adapted for 3D ligand-based pharmacophore modeling which requires only 2D strcutures of known active and inactive compounds.

Repositories:

  1. PMapper - representation of 3D pharmacophores (https://github.com/DrrDom/pmapper)
  2. The idea is to represent 3D pharmacophore as a complete graph where vertices are pharmacophore features and edges are binned distances between them. All possible quadruplets of features (subgraphs) are considered. For each quadruplet a canonical signature is calculated which encodes topology and stereoconfiguration of a quadruplet. The sorted set of all qudruplets and their counts in a pharmacophore is hashed with MD5 hash to get a 3D pharmacophore hash. Figures below illustrate the procedure, for more details pleases refer our publication.
