Table 1.

The top 10 physicochemical descriptors for distinguishing between agonists for (A) class I and class II receptors or (B) human and mouse receptors. Abrreviations are as follows: 3D-MoRSE (3D-MOlecule Representation of Structures based on Electron diffraction), WHIM (Weighted Holistic Invariant Molecular descriptors). Definitions of how the descriptors are calculated can be found in the Handbook of Molecular Descriptors (65).
