Abstract:
A spectral clustering method is presented and applied to two-dimensional molecular structures, where it has been found particularly useful in the analysis of screening data. The method provides a means to quantify (1) the degree of intermolecular similarity within a cluster and (2) the contribution that the features of a molecule make to a cluster. In an application of the spectral clustering method to an example data set of 125 COX-2 inhibitors, these two criteria were used to place the molecules into clusters of chemically related two-dimensional structures.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
