Comparative analysis of chemical similarity methods for modular natural products with a hypothetical structure enumeration algorithm

Abstract Natural products represent a prominent source of pharmaceutically and industrially important agents. Calculating the chemical similarity of two molecules is a central task in cheminformatics, with applications at multiple stages of the drug discovery pipeline. Quantifying the similarity of...
