(2015) UFSRAT: Ultra-Fast Shape Recognition with Atom Types – Using molecular similarity to discover bioactive small molecules with novel chemical scaf- The Discovery of Novel Bioactive Small Molecular folds can be computationally demanding. We describe Ultra-fast Shape Recognition with Scaffolds for FKBP12 and 11βHSD1.
