Classifying shape coverage in fragment libraries using a fingerprinting approach

Following Ramachandran 2: exit vector plot (EVP) analysis of disubstituted saturated rings

EVP analysis of common saturated rings revealed five regions (α–ε); only part of them corresponds to 3D molecular structures.

Following Ramachandran: exit vector plots (EVP) as a tool to navigate chemical space covered by 3D bifunctional scaffolds. The case of cycloalkanes

An approach to analysis and visualization of chemical space covered by disubstituted scaffolds, which is based on exit vector plots (EVP), is used for analysis of cycloalkane. Four clearly defined regions (α, β, γ and δ) are found in their EVP.
