Display Tanimoto Coefficient?

When doing a similarity search In InstantJChem:


1. What features are being compared in the "chemical hashed fingerprint"?


2. If I set the Tanimoto coefficient to, say, >/= 0.75, is it possible to have the individual values of the Tanimoto coefficient displayed as an additional column in the spreadsheet or grid? For example, I would like to know that some of my structures have a Tanimoto coefficient of 0.75 whereas others might be 0.80 or 0.95, etc.


Thank you.

Hi, I can only answer the question #2.


It's not possible to display more coefficients when performing substructure search.
There is possible workaround by using Chemical Terms fields:

Unfortunately this means that you have to create several columns for a single query to be able to compare the results.


For #1, my colleagues with better understanding of similarity search will answer you soon.


Cheers,
