New MDL Maccs 166-bit key/fingerprint generator

To coincide with my talk at the ChemAxon US UGM, I thought I'd contribute a full implementation of a generator for MDL MACCS 166-bit keys.  This work is heavily based upon the previous implementation by Miklos Vargyas, and the SMARTS definitions developed and refined by Greg Landrum and Andrew Dalke.  This implementation achieves ~65% on the standard Briem and Lessel benchmark, i.e. almost identical to the expected value for MACCS keys reported in the literature by MDL and others.


Enjoy,

Roger

Dear Roger,


Great contribution, many thanks for sharing this piece code with our user community, very useful indeed. I reckon we can learn a lot from this advanced implementation!


Keep posting! :)


Many thanks and best regards,


Miklos
