SimilarityQuery#

class biotite.database.pubchem.SimilarityQuery(threshold=0.9, conformation_based=False, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: StructureQuery

A query that searches for all structures similar to the given input structure.

Exactly one of the input structure parameters smiles, smarts, inchi, sdf or cid must be given.

Parameters:
thresholdfloat, optional

The minimum required Tanimoto similarity for a match. Must be between 0 (no similarity) and 1 (complete match).

conformation_basedbool, optional

If set to true, the similarity is computed based on the 3D conformation. By default, only the elements and bonds between the atoms are considered for similarity computation.

smilesstr, optional

The query SMILES string.

smartsstr, optional

The query SMARTS pattern.

inchistr, optional

The query InChI string.

sdfstr, optional

A query structure as SDF formatted string. Usually from_atoms() is used to create the SDF from an AtomArray.

cidint, optional

The query structure given as CID.

numberint, optional

The maximum number of matches that this query may return. By default, the PubChem default value is used, which can be considered unlimited.

Notes

The conformation based similarity measure uses shape-Tanimoto and color-Tanimoto scores [1].
