Medicinal chemistry binding features

This subset was further investigated using the slower modeling methods to try to identify potential actives, known as plausible hits. An example of a molecule selected from the results of a docking experiment is shown in Fig. 4.8. This molecule had a similarity score of 0.93 to an active and is shown docked with the typical kinase inhibitor binding pattern. Both the active and the plausible hit are not drug-like from a medicinal chemistry perspective, but this example demonstrates well how the Feature Tree descriptor captures similarity between two molecules.
