get_fingerprint {DeepPINCS} | R Documentation

## Molecular fingerprint of compounds from SMILES strings

### Description

A molecular fingerprint is a way of encoding the structural features of a molecule. The most common type of fingerprint is a sequence of ones and zeros. Fingerprints are special kinds of descriptors that characterize a molecule and its properties as a binary bit vector that represents the presence or absence of particular substructure in the molecule. For such a fingerprint, the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) is used as a cheminformatics tool.

### Usage

    get_fingerprint(smiles, ...)

### Arguments

`smiles` | SMILES strings
