Popis: The program MolSim designed to calculate the similarity of different molecules quantitatively in a fast and easy way is described. The molecular similarity is estimated for the molecular shape as well as for the electrostatic potentials of the molecules derived from ab initio calculations. A grid-based method is used to determine the steric and electrostatic similarities between a lead compound and the corresponding test set by calculating the Spearman correlation coefficient. The superpositioning of the molecules was accomplished with the SEAL algorithm incorporating a Monte Carlo simulated annealing approach while preserving the conformational flexibility of the calculated structures.
