Molecular Field Topology Analysis (MFTA) [1] is a QSAR approach based on the local (atomic) descriptors. First, a so-called molecular supergraph is constructed which is a simple graph such that the molecular graphs of all training set structures can be represented as its subgraphs. A uniform descriptor set for the statistical analysis is obtained by superimposing each training set structure onto the molecular supergraph. Each supergraph vertex is assigned the values of effective atomic charge, van der Waals radius, H-bond donor and H-bond acceptor ability, local lipophilicity and other parameters for the corresponding atom of the training set structure. For unoccupied vertices the neutral descriptor values are used. The analysis of the impact of local descriptors on the activity for different supergraph positions is highly helpful in search for new promising structures as well as in understanding their action. |
