Hi,
I have a set of say 1000 generated fingerprints each of length 39972; across
all 1000 fingerprints many bits are the same – they contain no information
about the differences between the 1000 molecules.
e.g. for list
010100001
010110100
010101110
010100010
The first four bits are redundant, I could just record them as:
00001
10100
01110
00010
In reality, the redundant bits are distributed through the bit string, so I
need a method to determine which bits are redundant, and then remove them from
each fingerprint.
Cheers,
Steve.

The length of each bitvectors generated is 39972, and the list has a lot of
redundant ‘1’s and ‘0’s.
Is there an easy method to filter out these redundant bits?
What do you mean by redundant bits?
The length of the bit vectors is determined by the parameters you provide for
building the pharmacophore fingerprints (number of points, number of features,
and number of distance bins). The length of the strings that you get from
fp.ToBitString() should be equal to this number of bits.
