This node computes similarities between pairs of molecules by taking the size of their MCSS as a
measure of similarity (the bigger the MCSS, the more similar the molecules are). For computing the
MCSS, the substructure miner MoSS is used. Since the computation of an MCSS is a complex problem and
can take quite a lot of time, you can set a timeout after which the computation of a single MCSS
between two molecules is aborted. In this case, the distance between the two molecules will be the
biggest common substructure found so far.
This node may use quite a lot of memory, so if you
run into problems, try to increase the available heap size for KNIME in the knime.ini.
