%0 Journal Article %T DivCalc: A Utility for Diversity Analysis and Compound Sampling %A Rajeev Gangal %J Molecules %D 2002 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/70800657 %X Diversity, in the form of genetic diversity, chemical diversity etc, is a very important concept in several areas of scientific research, and calculation of diversity is one of the most important considerations in pre-clinical drug discovery research and, in particular, in design of diverse chemical libraries for combinatorial chemistry and compound selection for High Throughput Screening (HTS). DivCalc is a WindowsTM based software that implements a previously published method of diversity calculation [1]. This facilitates sampling of a given data matrix to obtain the most diverse compounds that span the entire descriptor space. %K Diversity %K dissimilarity %K software %K combinatorial chemistry %K HTS %K DISSIM %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/7/8/657
