Motivation: To find a correlation between the activities and structures of molecules is one of the most important subjects for molecular evaluation study. Traditional quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methodologies represent those attempts using physicochemical descriptors. Creating a new molecular description factor based on the results of a computational docking study will add new dimensions to molecular evaluation.

Results: We propose a new molecular description factor analysis system called the Comparative Molecular Interaction Profile Analysis (CoMIPA) system in which the AutoDock program is used for docking evaluation of small molecule compound–protein complexes. Interaction energies are calculated, and the data sets obtained are called interaction profiles (IPFs). Using the IPF as a scoring indicator, the system could be a powerful tool to cluster the interacting properties between small molecules and bio macromolecules such as ligand–receptor bindings. Further development of the system will enable us to predict the adverse effects of a drug candidate.
