43. Since each compound may be represented by multiple conformations, we assign the absence of a particular molecular descriptor to a compound if none of its representative conformations contains it; otherwise, we assign the presence of that molecular descriptor to that compound.

45. The width of each distance bin is set as 1.0 Å as the default. The adjacent bins have 20% overlap with each other so that the actual width of each distance bin is 1.2 Å. Any distance located in the overlap region is assigned to both bins. All the distances longer than 20 Å are assigned to the last bin. Thus, 0.0-1.1 Å is bin no. 0, 0.9-2.1 Å is bin no. 1, 1.9-3.1 Å is bin no. 2, ... and 19.9-∞ Å is bin no. 20. The introduction of this "fuzzy distance" concept is to alleviate the unfavorable boundary effects of the distance bins.

56. Flexible ring corner is defined as the nonfused atom in a flexible ring. After a flexible ring is isolated, its average plane is determined. Then, the spatial position of each flexible corner is changed by randomly assigning a displacement with the length between 0 and 2 A and the direction pointed to the opposite side of the average ring plane. The chiralty of each comer atom is recorded and monitored to make sure the correct chiralty is kept.
57. This release strategy is similar to the ID minimization strategy used by Smellie et al. (ref 58), except that we use the same constrained search algorithm as described in the text to do the bond rotation.
