extractDrugWeightedPath: Descriptor that Calculates the Weighted Path (Molecular ID)
Description
Descriptor that Calculates the Weighted Path (Molecular ID)
Usage
extractDrugWeightedPath(molecules, silent = TRUE)
Arguments
molecules
Parsed molucule object.
silent
Logical. Whether the calculating process
should be shown or not, default is TRUE.
Value
A data frame, each row represents one of the molecules,
each column represents one feature.
This function returns 5 columns named
WTPT.1, WTPT.2, WTPT.3, WTPT.4, WTPT.5:
WTPT.1 - molecular ID
WTPT.2 - molecular ID / number of atoms
WTPT.3 - sum of path lengths starting from heteroatoms
WTPT.4 - sum of path lengths starting from oxygens
WTPT.5 - sum of path lengths starting from nitrogens
Details
This descriptor calculates the weighted path (molecular ID)
described by Randic, characterizing molecular branching.
Five descriptors are calculated, based on the implementation in the ADAPT
software package. Note that the descriptor is based on identifying all paths
between pairs of atoms and so is NP-hard.
This means that it can take some time for large, complex molecules.
