Abstract

Molecular similarity methods are providing new tools for searching molecular databases, selecting compounds for drug screening, predicting molecular properties and modeling drug receptor sites (Johnson et al., 1987; Maggiora et al., 1987). This paper positions these methods amongst the more traditional a priori and algebraic methods for predicting property values and for finding a compound with a desired property value. Instances where these methods may complement each other are also noted.
