Fingerprint Types

We currently support an number of RDKit chemical fingerprints:

Name Description
RDKIT Chemical hashed fingerprint similar in nature (but not directly equivalent to) Daylight fingerprints
MORGAN_CONNECTIVITY_2 Morgan circular fingerprints, similar in nature (but not directly equivalent to) SciTegic’s ECFP4
MORGAN_FEATURE_2 Morgan feature fingerprints, similar in nature (but not directly equivalent to) SciTegic’s FCFP4

Other fingerprint types are supported by RDKit, and can be added if there is demand.
