Hello there,
Hope you are doing very well.

I would like to compute tanimoto similarity using obspectrophore
fingerprint. I have found a formula on the net for the tanimoto similarity:
def tanimoto(list1, list2):
  #list1 and list2 #spectrophore fingerprint
  intersection = [common_item for common_item in list1 if common_item in
list2]
  return float(len(intersection))/(len(list1) + len(list2) -
len(intersection))

For now, I tested this using the same compound as input and the result is 1.
Just wanted to confirm this is the right formula for Tanimoto coefficient
for spectrophore.

Thanks
Best regards
