Table 3.

Percentages of molecules with similarity scores above tmin from the ratio-of-Gaussians approximation with the fitted ChemDB parameters

tmin Gaussian ratio (%) No. Hits (D=1 M)
0.4 0.033 330
0.5 0.015 150
0.6 0.010 100
0.7 0.007 70
0.8 0.004 40
0.9 0.002 20

The number of expected molecule hits is also shown for a database of size D=1M. These values provide a qualitative estimate of the number of hits expected for a typical query above the given Tanimoto thresholds.
