ChemDescriptors 0.0.6

Chemical descriptors is a powerful Python package facilitating calculation of fingerprints for CSV files

Python Library: ChemDescriptors

This library provides various functions for calculating molecular descriptors and fingerprints in cheminformatics. It supports the calculation of a wide range of molecular descriptors and fingerprints, such as RDKit, Lipinski, Morgan, Mordred, and more.

Importance of Fingerprint Types:

• Distinct Representation: Different fingerprint types capture various aspects of a molecule’s structure, allowing for versatile molecular comparisons.
• Diverse Applications: Depending on the task (such as similarity searching, classification, or clustering), choosing the right fingerprint type ensures better performance in chemical analysis and predictive modeling.
• Accuracy in Modeling: The right fingerprint type can significantly improve the accuracy of machine learning models and predictions based on molecular features.

Number of Fingerprints:

The library supports a wide variety of fingerprint types, enabling a range of analyses for molecular datasets.

Functions

add_rdkit_descriptor(input_file,smiles_column)

Description:
This function calculates RDKit molecular descriptors for molecules specified in a CSV file (input_file) using SMILES strings from a specified column (smiles_column). The calculated descriptors are appended as additional columns to the original data and saved in a new CSV file named <input_file_name>_rdkit_descriptor.csv.

Parameters:

• input_file (str): Path to the input CSV file containing molecular data in SMILES format.
• smiles_column (str): The name of the column in the input CSV file that contains the SMILES strings.

Output:
The output will be saved as a CSV file named <input_file_name>_rdkit_descriptor.csv.

add_lipinski_descriptors(file_path, smiles_column, verbose=False)

Description:
This function calculates Lipinski descriptors for molecules specified in a CSV file (file_path) using SMILES strings from a specified column (smiles_column). It automatically saves the calculated descriptors to an output file named <input_file_name>_lipinski_descriptors.csv.

Parameters:

• file_path (str): Path to the input CSV file containing molecular data in SMILES format.
• smiles_column (str): The name of the column in the input CSV file that contains the SMILES strings.
• verbose (bool, optional): If True, the function will print additional processing details. Default is False.

Output:
The output will be saved as a CSV file named <input_file_name>_lipinski_descriptors.csv.

add_morgan_fp(input_file, smiles_column)

Description:
Calculates Morgan fingerprints for molecules specified in a CSV file (input_file) using SMILES strings from a specified column (smiles_column). The function saves the calculated fingerprints to an output file named <input_file_name>_calculate_morgan_fpts.csv.

Parameters:

• input_file (str): Path to the input CSV file containing molecular data in SMILES format.
• smiles_column (str): The name of the column in the input CSV file that contains the SMILES strings.

Output:
The output will be saved as a CSV file named <input_file_name>_calculate_morgan_fpts.csv.

---

add_mordred_descriptors(input_file, smiles_column)

Description:
Computes Mordred descriptors for molecules specified in a CSV file (input_file) using SMILES strings from a specified column (smiles_column). The function saves the computed descriptors to an output file named <input_file_name>_mordred_descriptors.csv.

Parameters:

• input_file (str): Path to the input CSV file containing molecular data in SMILES format.
• smiles_column (str): The name of the column in the input CSV file that contains the SMILES strings.

Output:
The output will be saved as a CSV file named <input_file_name>_mordred_descriptors.csv.

**add_WienerIndex_ZagrebIndex(filename, smiles_column):

add_WienerIndex_ZagrebIndex(input_file, smiles_column)

Description:
Computes WienerIndex and ZagrebIndex descriptors for molecules specified in a CSV file (input_file) using SMILES strings from a specified column (smiles_column). The function saves the computed descriptors to an output file named add_WienerIndex_ZagrebIndex_<input_file_name>_.csv.

Parameters:

• input_file (str): Path to the input CSV file containing molecular data in SMILES format.
• smiles_column (str): The name of the column in the input CSV file that contains the SMILES strings.

Output:
The output will be saved as a CSV file named <input_file_name>_mordred_descriptors.csv.

add_padelpy_fps(input_file, smiles_column)

Description:
This function allow to user to add 12 different types of molecular fingerprints by using padelpy Library.. The supported fingerprints include:

• AtomPairs2DCount
• AtomPairs2D
• EState
• CDKextended
• CDK
• CDKgraphonly

• Then run the code: You find list of fingerpints you can select one or more to add them in your file

Output:
Each fingerprint type will be saved as a separate CSV file with the respective fingerprint type name appended.
For example: <input_file_name>_AtomPairs2DCount.csv.
