Challenge: Find Similar Drug-like Molecules
Swipe to start coding
Write a function to identify molecules from a list of candidate SMILES strings that are similar to a given reference SMILES, using Tanimoto similarity.
- Parse the
reference_smilesstring into an RDKit molecule and generate its Morgan fingerprint with a radius of 2. - For each SMILES in
candidate_smiles_list, parse it into an RDKit molecule and generate its Morgan fingerprint with a radius of 2. - Compute the Tanimoto similarity between the reference fingerprint and each candidate fingerprint.
- Return a list of SMILES strings for those candidates with similarity strictly greater than 0.7.
Before running this code or the tests, you must install the RDKit library in your environment. If you control the environment, use 'conda install -c conda-forge rdkit' or 'pip install rdkit'. If you do not control the environment, contact the platform support or check their documentation for available packages.
