Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: RDKit 2024.03+, numpy 1.26+, pandas 2.2+

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Molecular Descriptors

"Calculate molecular fingerprints for my compound library" → Compute structural fingerprints (Morgan/ECFP, MACCS keys) and physicochemical descriptors (Lipinski, QED, TPSA) for molecules, producing feature vectors for similarity analysis or ML models.

  • Python: AllChem.GetMorganFingerprintAsBitVect(), Descriptors.MolWt(), QED.qed() (RDKit)

Calculate fingerprints and physicochemical properties for molecules.

Morgan Fingerprints (ECFP)

Goal: Generate circular fingerprints that encode local chemical environments for similarity searching and ML models.

Approach: Use GetMorganFingerprintAsBitVect with a chosen radius (2 for ECFP4, 3 for ECFP6) and bit length, optionally including chirality information.

python
from rdkit import Chem
from rdkit.Chem import AllChem

mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles('CCO')

# ECFP4 = radius 2 (diameter = 2 * radius + 2 = 6)
# ECFP6 = radius 3 (diameter = 8)
ecfp4 = AllChem.GetMorganFingerprintAsBitVect(mol, radius=2, nBits=2048)
ecfp6 = AllChem.GetMorganFingerprintAsBitVect(mol, radius=3, nBits=2048)

# With stereochemistry information
ecfp4_chiral = AllChem.GetMorganFingerprintAsBitVect(
    mol, radius=2, nBits=2048, useChirality=True
)

# As count vector (for some ML methods)
ecfp4_counts = AllChem.GetMorganFingerprint(mol, radius=2)

# Convert to numpy array
import numpy as np
fp_array = np.array(ecfp4)

MACCS Keys

python
from rdkit.Chem import MACCSkeys

maccs = MACCSkeys.GenMACCSKeys(mol)  # 167 bits

# As numpy array
maccs_array = np.array(maccs)

Lipinski Properties

python
from rdkit import Chem
from rdkit.Chem import Descriptors, Lipinski

mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles('CCO')

# Lipinski Rule of 5 properties
mw = Descriptors.MolWt(mol)           # Molecular weight (<=500)
logp = Descriptors.MolLogP(mol)       # LogP (<=5)
hbd = Lipinski.NumHDonors(mol)        # H-bond donors (<=5)
hba = Lipinski.NumHAcceptors(mol)     # H-bond acceptors (<=10)

# Check Lipinski compliance
def passes_lipinski(mol):
    '''Check Lipinski Rule of 5 compliance.'''
    return (
        Descriptors.MolWt(mol) <= 500 and
        Descriptors.MolLogP(mol) <= 5 and
        Lipinski.NumHDonors(mol) <= 5 and
        Lipinski.NumHAcceptors(mol) <= 10
    )

# Additional properties
tpsa = Descriptors.TPSA(mol)          # Topological polar surface area
rotatable = Lipinski.NumRotatableBonds(mol)

QED Drug-Likeness

python
from rdkit.Chem.QED import qed

# QED score (0-1 scale, >0.5 generally drug-like)
qed_score = qed(mol)

# Weighted QED (default)
# Considers MW, LogP, TPSA, HBD, HBA, PSA, RotBonds, Aromatic rings

Complete Descriptor Set

Goal: Calculate all available RDKit molecular descriptors for feature-rich ML input.

Approach: Build a MolecularDescriptorCalculator from the full descriptor list and apply it to each molecule, producing a descriptor DataFrame.

python
from rdkit.Chem import Descriptors
from rdkit.ML.Descriptors import MoleculeDescriptors

# Get all available descriptor names
descriptor_names = [d[0] for d in Descriptors.descList]

# Create descriptor calculator
calculator = MoleculeDescriptors.MolecularDescriptorCalculator(descriptor_names)

# Calculate for a molecule
descriptors = calculator.CalcDescriptors(mol)

# As DataFrame
import pandas as pd
desc_df = pd.DataFrame([descriptors], columns=descriptor_names)

3D Conformer Descriptors

Goal: Compute 3D shape descriptors (asphericity, eccentricity, radius of gyration) from molecular conformers.

Approach: Generate a 3D conformer with ETKDGv3, optimize geometry with MMFF, then calculate 3D descriptors from the conformer coordinates.

python
from rdkit import Chem
from rdkit.Chem import AllChem, Descriptors3D

mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles('CCO')
mol = Chem.AddHs(mol)

# Generate 3D conformer (ETKDGv3 is now default)
AllChem.EmbedMolecule(mol, AllChem.ETKDGv3())

# Optimize geometry
AllChem.MMFFOptimizeMolecule(mol)

# 3D descriptors (require conformer)
# Asphericity: 0 = sphere, 1 = rod
asphericity = Descriptors3D.Asphericity(mol)

# Eccentricity
eccentricity = Descriptors3D.Eccentricity(mol)

# Inertial shape factor
isf = Descriptors3D.InertialShapeFactor(mol)

# Radius of gyration
rog = Descriptors3D.RadiusOfGyration(mol)

Batch Descriptor Calculation

Goal: Calculate a standard set of descriptors across an entire compound library.

Approach: Iterate over molecules, compute selected descriptors for each, and collect results into a DataFrame.

python
def calculate_descriptors_batch(molecules, descriptor_names=None):
    '''Calculate descriptors for multiple molecules.'''
    if descriptor_names is None:
        descriptor_names = ['MolWt', 'MolLogP', 'TPSA', 'NumHDonors',
                           'NumHAcceptors', 'NumRotatableBonds', 'qed']

    results = []
    for mol in molecules:
        if mol is None:
            results.append({d: None for d in descriptor_names})
            continue

        row = {}
        for name in descriptor_names:
            if name == 'qed':
                from rdkit.Chem.QED import qed
                row[name] = qed(mol)
            else:
                row[name] = getattr(Descriptors, name)(mol)
        results.append(row)

    return pd.DataFrame(results)
