This study introduces a novel spherical representation for molecules, enabling efficient 3D surface-based similarity calculations. This method enhances drug discovery and molecular biology by directly comparing molecular surfaces and properties.

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Cheminformatics
  • Drug discovery

Background:

  • Molecular similarity is crucial in drug discovery and molecular biology.
  • Accurate molecular similarity assessment relies on effective molecular representations.
  • Current methods often use simplified 2D descriptors, overlooking rich 3D surface information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenge of determining molecular similarity using complex 3D surface-based representations.
  • To propose a novel, efficient method for comparing molecular surfaces and their properties.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an intrinsic spherical representation mapping molecular surfaces to a sphere.
  • Captured molecular surface properties (shape, field strengths) as distributions on the sphere.

  • Computed molecular similarity using a novel histogram intersection on surface-property distributions.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method efficiently determines similarity from 3D surface properties.
    • The approach is sensitive to the 3D distribution of surface properties.
    • The similarity computation is highly efficient.

    Conclusions:

    • The method bypasses computationally intensive pose-optimization.
    • It accommodates conformational variations and directly compares molecular surfaces.
    • Demonstrated effectiveness and validity through retrieval performance and structure-activity modeling comparisons.
