Benefits of Molecular Fingerprints

Using TRAP, Telik has assembled a database consisting of molecular fingerprints of tens of thousands of small molecules. Molecular fingerprint offers an alternative to chemical structure and is a superior guide to compound selection for drug discovery because it identifies molecules with specific protein binding characteristics and a greater likelihood of being drug candidates.

Fingerprints do not always correlate with structure. Two similar chemical structures can have different molecular fingerprints...

while two different chemical structures can have similar fingerprints.
