“…VS applied to the electrostatic similarity of compounds is a clear example of this. Contrary to what happens when VS is applied to select the most similar compounds in shape or pharmacophore properties, where the tools base their predictions on scoring functions that measure these particular features (Lešnik et al, 2015;Puertas-Martín et al, 2019;Yan et al, 2013), the predictions in this field are not exclusively based on this descriptor, but on both the similarity of the three dimensional shape and electrostatic similarity (Tresadern et al, 2009;Chu and Gochin, 2013;Kim et al, 2015;Kossmann et al, 2016;Woodring et al, 2017;Maccari et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2016;López-Ramos and Perruccio, 2010;Hevener et al, 2012;Kaoud et al, 2012;Tiikkainen et al, 2009;Massarotti et al, 2014;Oyarzabal et al, 2009).…”
