Computing Descriptors
Statistical and machine learning methods are routinely used to model the relationships between observed physical, chemical, and biological properties of a compound and numerical representations of its chemical structure called descriptors.
The structural descriptors considered in this context are designed to capture different levels of structure resolution and diverse physicochemical properties of a compound. Descriptors can be derived from atomic, bond, and molecular properties.
Molecular Descriptors
ADRIANA.Code calculates a series of molecular descriptors that can be applied in the area of in silico discovery and optimization of new chemical entities. The descriptors encode physicochemical, topological, geometrical and surface properties of molecules.
The following descriptors can be calculated:
  • Physicochemical properties including number of H bond acceptors and H bond donors, TPSA, molecular weight, logP, logS, dipole moment, molecular polarizability, ring and molecular complexity
  • Size- and shape-related descriptors including molecular diameter, principal moments of inertia,molecular span, radius of gyration, molecular eccentricity and asphericity
  • Autocorrelation of 2D interatomic distance distributions weighted by partial charges, electronegativities and polarizabilities [1]
  • Autocorrelation of 3D interatomic distance distributions weighted by partial charges, electronegativities and polarizabilities [1]
  • Radial Distribution Functions of 3D interatomic distances weighted by partial charges, electronegativities and polarizabilities [2]
  • Autocorrelation of distances between surface points weighted by the molecular electrostatic, hydrophobicity and hydrogen bonding potential [3]
 
ADRIANA.Code is available as Pipeline Pilot component. Pipeline Pilot is distributed by SciTegic, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA. For more information please visit SciTegic's web site.
 
ADRIANA.Code comprises the former software packages AUTOCORR, PETRA_M, RCODE and SURFACE.
