Calculate Molecular Distance Edge (MDE) Descriptors for C, N and O

Usage

extractDrugMDE(molecules, silent = TRUE)

Arguments

molecules: Parsed molucule object.
silent: Logical. Whether the calculating process should be shown or not, default is TRUE.

Value

A data frame, each row represents one of the molecules, each column represents one feature. This function returns one column named nAtomLAC.

Details

This descriptor calculates the 10 molecular distance edge (MDE) descriptor described in Liu, S., Cao, C., & Li, Z, and in addition it calculates variants where O and N are considered.
