std::cout << "IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS:" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Spectrophores(TM) are one-dimensional descriptors generated from the property" << std::endl;
std::cout << "fields surrounding the molecules. The technology allows the accurate description" << std::endl;
std::cout << "of molecules in terms of their surface properties or fields. Comparison of" << std::endl;
std::cout << "molecules’ property fields provides a robust structure-independent method of" << std::endl;
std::cout << "aligning actives from different chemical classes. When applied to molecules such" << std::endl;
std::cout << "as ligands and drugs, Spectrophores(TM) can be used as powerful molecular " << std::endl;
std::cout << "descriptors in the fields of chemoinformatics, virtual screening, and QSAR" << std::endl;
std::cout << "modeling." << std::endl;
std::cout << "The computation of Spectrophores(TM) is independent of the position and" << std::endl;
std::cout << "orientation of the molecule and this enables easy and fast comparison of" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Spectrophores(TM) between different molecules. Molecules having similar" << std::endl;
std::cout << "three-dimensional properties and shapes always yield similar Spectrophores(TM)." << std::endl;
std::cout << "A Spectrophore(TM) is calculated by surrounding the three-dimensional" << std::endl;
std::cout << "conformation of the molecule by a three-dimensional arrangement of points," << std::endl;
std::cout << "followed by calculating the interaction between each of the atom properties and" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the surrounding the points. The three-dimensional arrangement of the points" << std::endl;
std::cout << "surrounding the molecule can be regarded as an ‘artificial’ cage or receptor," << std::endl;
std::cout << "and the interaction calculated between the molecule and the cage can be regarded" << std::endl;
std::cout << "as an artificial representation of an affinity value between molecule and cage." << std::endl;
std::cout << "Because the calculated interaction is dependent on the relative orientation of" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the molecule within the cage, the molecule is rotated in discrete angles and the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "most favorable interaction value is kept as final result. The angular stepsize" << std::endl;
std::cout << "at which the molecule is rotated along its three axis can be specified by the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "user and influences the accuracy of the method." << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Atomic properties" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "The calculation of a Spectrophore(TM) starts by calculating the atomic" << std::endl;
std::cout << "contributions of each property from which one wants to calculate a" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Spectrophore(TM) from. In the current implementation, four atomic properties are" << std::endl;
std::cout << "converted into a Spectrophore(TM); these four properties include the atomic" << std::endl;
std::cout << "partial charges, the atomic lipohilicities, the atomic shape deviations and the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "atomic electrophilicities. The atomic partial charges and atomic electrophilicity" << std::endl;
std::cout << "properties are calculated using the electronegativity equalisation method (EEM)" << std::endl;
std::cout << "as described by Bultinck and coworkers (J. Phys. Chem. 2002, A106, 7895-7901;" << std::endl;
std::cout << "J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 2003, 43, 422-428). Atomic lipophilic potential" << std::endl;
std::cout << "parameters are calculated using a rule-based method. Finally, the atomic shape" << std::endl;
std::cout << "deviation is generated by calculating, for each atom, the atom’s deviation from" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the average molecular radius. This is done in a four steps process:" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - The molecular center of geometry (COG) is calculated;" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - The distances between each atom and the molecular COG are calculated;" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - The average molecular radius is calculated by averaging all the atomic " << std::endl;
std::cout << " distances." << std::endl;
std::cout << " - The distances between each atom and the COG are then divided by the average" << std::endl;
std::cout << " molecular radius and centered on zero." << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Interaction between the atoms and cage points" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Following the calculation of all required atomic properties, the next step in" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the calculation of a Spectrophore(TM) consists of determining the total" << std::endl;
std::cout << "interaction value V(c,p) between each of the atomic contributions of" << std::endl;
std::cout << "property p with a set of interaction points on an artificial cage c" << std::endl;
std::cout << "surrounding the molecular conformation. For this purpose, each of these" << std::endl;
std::cout << "interaction points i on cage c is assigned a value P(c,i)" << std::endl;
std::cout << "which is either +1 or -1, with the constraint that the sum of all interaction" << std::endl;
std::cout << "points on a particular cage should be zero. In a typical Spectrophore(TM)" << std::endl;
std::cout << "calculation, a cage is represented as a rectangular box encompassing the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "molecular conformation in all three dimensions, with the centers of the box" << std::endl;
std::cout << "edges being the interaction points. Such a configuration gives twelve" << std::endl;
std::cout << "interaction points per cage, and, in the case of a non-stereospecific" << std::endl;
std::cout << "distribution of the interaction points, leads to 12 different cages. Although" << std::endl;
std::cout << "there are no particular requirements as to the dimensions of the rectangular" << std::endl;
std::cout << "cage, the distance between the interaction points and the geometrical extremes" << std::endl;
std::cout << "of the molecule should be such that a meaningful interaction value between each" << std::endl;
std::cout << "cage point and the molecular entity can be calculated. In this respect, the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "default dimensions of the cage are constantly adjusted to enclose the molecule" << std::endl;
std::cout << "at a minimum distance of 3 A along all dimensions. This cage size can be" << std::endl;
std::cout << "modified by the user and influences the resolution of the Spectrophore(TM)." << std::endl;
std::cout << "The total interaction value V(c,p) between the atomic contribution values" << std::endl;
std::cout << "A(j,p) of property p for a given molecular conformation and the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "cage interaction values P(c,i) for a given cage c is calculated" << std::endl;
std::cout << "according a standard interaction energy equation. It takes into account the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Euclidean distance between each atom and each cage point. This total interaction" << std::endl;
std::cout << "V(c,p) for a given property p and cage c for a given" << std::endl;
std::cout << "molecular conformation is minimized by sampling the molecular orientation along" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the three axis in angular steps and the calculation of the interaction value for" << std::endl;
std::cout << "each orientation within the cage. The final total interaction V(c,p) for" << std::endl;
std::cout << "a given cage c and property p corresponds to the lowest" << std::endl;
std::cout << "interaction value obtained this way, and corresponds to the c’th value in" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the one-dimensional Spectrophore(TM) vector calculated for molecular property" << std::endl;
std::cout << "p. As a result, a Spectrophore(TM) is organized as a vector of minimized" << std::endl;
std::cout << "interaction values V, each of these organized in order of cages and" << std::endl;
std::cout << "property values. Since for a typical Spectrophore(TM) implementation twelve" << std::endl;
std::cout << "different cages are used, the total length of a Spectrophore(TM) vector equals" << std::endl;
std::cout << "to 12 times the number of properties. Since four different properties are used" << std::endl;
std::cout << "in the current implementation (electrostatic, lipophilic, electrophilic" << std::endl;
std::cout << "potentials, and an additional shape index as described before), this leads to a" << std::endl;
std::cout << "total Spectrophore(TM) length of 48 real values per molecular conformation." << std::endl;
std::cout << "Since Spectrophore(TM) descriptors are dependent on the actual" << std::endl;
std::cout << "three-dimensional conformation of the molecule, a typical analysis includes the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "calculation of Spectrophores(TM) from a reasonable set of different" << std::endl;
std::cout << "conformations. It is then up to the user to decide on the most optimal strategy" << std::endl;
std::cout << "for processing the different Spectrophore(TM) vectors. In a typical virtual" << std::endl;
std::cout << "screening application, calculating the average Spectrophore(TM) vector from all" << std::endl;
std::cout << "conformations of a single molecule may be a good strategy; other applications" << std::endl;
std::cout << "have benefit from calculating a weighted average or the minimal values." << std::endl;
std::cout << "For each molecule in the input file, a Spectrophore(TM) is calculated and" << std::endl;
std::cout << "printed to standard output as a vector of 48 numbers (in the case of a" << std::endl;
std::cout << "non-stereospecific Spectrophore(TM). The 48 doubles are organised into 4 sets" << std::endl;
std::cout << "of 12 doubles each:" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - numbers 01-11: Spectrophore(TM) values calculated from the atomic partial charges;" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - numbers 13-24: Spectrophore(TM) values calculated from the atomic lipophilicity properties;" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - numbers 25-36: Spectrophore(TM) values calculated from the atomic shape deviations;" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - numbers 37-48: Spectrophore(TM) values calculated from the atomic electrophilicity properties;" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Accuracy" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "As already mentioned, the total interaction between cage and molecule for a" << std::endl;
std::cout << "given property is minimized by sampling the molecular orientation in angular" << std::endl;
std::cout << "steps of a certain magnitude. As a typical angular step size, 20 degrees was found to" << std::endl;
std::cout << "be the best compromise between accuracy and computer speed. Larger steps sizes" << std::endl;
std::cout << "are faster to calculate but have the risk of missing the global interaction" << std::endl;
std::cout << "energy minimum, while smaller angular steps sizes do sample the rotational space" << std::endl;
std::cout << "more thoroughly but at a significant computational cost. The accuracy can be" << std::endl;
std::cout << "specified by the user using the -a option." << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Resolution" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Spectrophores(TM) capture information about the property fields surrounding the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "molecule, and the amount of detail that needs to be captured can be regulated by" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the user. This is done by altering the minimal distance between the molecule and" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the surrounding cage. The resolution can be specified by the user with the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "-r option. The default distance along all dimensions is 3.0 Angstrom." << std::endl;
std::cout << "The larger the distance, the lower the resolution. With a higher resolution," << std::endl;
std::cout << "more details of the property fields surrounding the molecule are contained by" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the Spectrophore(TM). On the contrary, low resolution settings may lead to a more" << std::endl;
std::cout << "general representation of the property fields, with little or no emphasis on" << std::endl;
std::cout << "small local variations within the fields. Using a low resolution can be the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "method of choice during the initial virtual screening experiments in order to get" << std::endl;
std::cout << "an initial, but not so discriminative, first selection. This initial selection" << std::endl;
std::cout << "can then further be refined during subsequent virtual screening steps using a" << std::endl;
std::cout << "higher resolution. In this setting, small local differences in the fields between" << std::endl;
std::cout << "pairs of molecules will be picked up much more easily." << std::endl;
std::cout << "The absolute values of the individual Spectrophore(TM) data points are dependent" << std::endl;
std::cout << "on the used resolution. Low resolution values lead to small values of the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "calculated individual Spectrophore(TM) data points, while high resolutions will" << std::endl;
std::cout << "lead to larger data values. It is therefore only meaningful to compare only" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Spectrophores(TM) that have been generated using the same resolution settings or" << std::endl;
std::cout << "after some kind of normalization is performed." << std::endl;
std::cout << "Computation time is not influenced by the specified resolution, hence the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "computation time is identical for all different resolution settings." << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Stereospecificity" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Some of the cages that are used to calculated Spectrophores(TM) have a" << std::endl;
std::cout << "stereospecific distribution of the interaction points. The resulting" << std::endl;
std::cout << "interaction valus resulting from these cages are therefore sensitive to the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "enantiomeric configuration of the molecule within the cage. The fact that both" << std::endl;
std::cout << "stereoselective as well as stereo non-selective cages can be used makes it" << std::endl;
std::cout << "possible to include or exclude stereospecificity in the virtual screening" << std::endl;
std::cout << "search. Depending on the desired output, the stereospecificity of" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Spectrophores(TM) can be specified by the user using the -s option:" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - No stereospecificity (default). Spectrophores(TM) are generated using cages" << std::endl;
std::cout << " that are not stereospecific. For most applications, these Spectrophores(TM)" << std::endl;
std::cout << " will suffice." << std::endl;
std::cout << " - Unique stereospecificity. Spectrophores(TM) are generated using unique" << std::endl;
std::cout << " stereospecific cages." << std::endl;
std::cout << " - Mirror stereospecificity. Mirror stereospecific Spectrophores(TM) are" << std::endl;
std::cout << " Spectrophores(TM) resulting from the mirror enantiomeric form of the input" << std::endl;
std::cout << " molecules." << std::endl;
std::cout << "The differences between the corresponding data points of unique and mirror" << std::endl;
std::cout << "stereospecific Spectrophores(TM) are very small and require very long" << std::endl;
std::cout << "calculation times to obtain a sufficiently high quality level. This increased" << std::endl;
std::cout << "quality level is triggered by the accuracy setting and will result in" << std::endl;
std::cout << "calculation times being increased by at least a factor 100. As a consequence, it" << std::endl;
std::cout << "is recommended to apply this increased accuracy only in combination with a" << std::endl;
std::cout << "limited number of molecules, and when the small differences between the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "stereospecific Spectrophores(TM) are really critical. However, for the vast" << std::endl;
std::cout << "majority of virtual screening applications, this increased accuracy is not" << std::endl;
std::cout << "required as long as it is not the intention to draw conclusions about" << std::endl;
std::cout << "differences in the underlying molecular stereoselectivity. Non-stereospecific" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Spectrophores(TM) will therefore suffice for most applications." << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Normalisation" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "It may sometimes be desired to focus on the relative differences between the" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Spectrophore(TM) data points rather than focussing on the absolute differences." << std::endl;
std::cout << "In these cases, normalization of Spectrophores(TM) may be required. The current" << std::endl;
std::cout << "implementation offers with the -n option the possibility to normalize in four" << std::endl;
std::cout << "different ways:" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - No normalization (default);" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - Normalization towards zero mean;" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - Normalization towards standard deviation;" << std::endl;
std::cout << " - Normalization towards zero mean and unit standard deviation." << std::endl;
std::cout << "In all these cases, normalization is performed on a ‘per-property’ basis, which" << std::endl;
std::cout << "means that the data points belonging to the same property set are treated as a" << std::endl;
std::cout << "single set and that normalization is only performed on the data points within" << std::endl;
std::cout << "each of these sets and not across all data points." << std::endl;
std::cout << "Normalization may be important when comparing the Spectrophores(TM) of charged" << std::endl;
std::cout << "molecules with those of neutral molecules. For molecules carrying a global" << std::endl;
std::cout << "positive charge, the resulting Spectrophore(TM) data points of the charge and" << std::endl;
std::cout << "electrophilicity properties will both be shifted in absolute value compared to" << std::endl;
std::cout << "the corresponding data points of the respective neutral species. Normalization" << std::endl;
std::cout << "of the Spectrophores(TM) removes the original magnitude differences for the data" << std::endl;
std::cout << "points corresponding to the charge and electrophilicity properties of charged" << std::endl;
std::cout << "and neutral species. Therefore, if the emphasis of the virtual screening" << std::endl;
std::cout << "consists of the identification of molecules with similar property fields without" << std::endl;
std::cout << "taking into account differences in absolute charge, then Spectrophores(TM)" << std::endl;
std::cout << "should be normalized towards zero mean. However, if absolute charge differences" << std::endl;
std::cout << "should be taken into account to differentiate between molecules, unnormalized" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Spectrophores(TM) are recommended." << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
