Fig. 4From: Enhance the performance of current scoring functions with the aid of 3D protein-ligand interaction fingerprintsHow the interaction fingerprints of two complexes (P and Q) are compared. a First, the maximal clique between node sets P and Q is defined. Each element in this maximal clique is a matched pair of nodes. b Then, the matched node pairs in the maximal clique (in solid or dashed circles) are superimposed. If the two nodes in a matched pair are close enough (d < 1 Å), they are considered as geometrically overlapped (those in solid circles). Overlapped node pairs are used in the computation of the similarity index between P and Q Back to article page
