The GETAWAY (GEometry, Topology, and Atom Weights AssemblY) try to
match 3D molecular geometry provided by the molecular influence
matrix and atom relatedness by topology with chemical information by
using different atomic weighting schemes (unit weights, mass,
polarizability, electronegativity).
The molecular influence matrix,
is defined by
where
is the molecular matrix. The resultant
matrix is invariant to rotation of the molecular
coordinates. The diagonal elements
are termed leverages and
represent the influence of each atom in determining the shape of the
molecule. Each off diagonal element
represents the degree of
of accessibility of the j'th atom to interactions with the i'th atom.
H-GETAWAY descriptors are obtained by manipulating the
matrix
The simple H-GETAWAY is defined by
and is essentially the geometric mean of the leverage magnitude.
There are 3 types of informational
indices which consider the diagonal elements of
as indicative of molecular complexity (since they are sensitive
to the whole molecule structure).
- Total information content
- Standardized information content on the
leverage equality
represented by,
where
is the number of atoms with the same leverage value
and
is the number of equivilance classes into which the atoms
are partitioned according to leverage equality and
is the
number of non hydrogen atoms. These indices encode information
regarding the molecule entropy.
- Mean information content on the leverage
magnitude
is defined as
where
is the matrix rank defined by
and
is the total number of atoms, hydrogens
included.
The H-GETAWAY autocorrelation descriptor utilizes the geometric
information implicit in the leverage values and atomic weighting
schemes to give rise to a new set of descriptors. By analogy
with the
Moreau - Broto descriptors the HATS indices are
defined by weighting each atom in a molecule by
thus giving a weight vector
. The HATS are
then defined as
and
where
is the topological distance between the i'th and j'th
atoms and
with
The HATS total index is defined by summing the individual
indices for increasing
and is given by
where
is the
unit matrix.
This subset replaces
with other types of
matrices such as a combination of the molecular influence matrix
and the geometry matrix to give the influence/distance matrix,
defined as
where
Using the elements of
we can get several
descriptors
The average row sum of
is defined as
where
is the i'th row sum.
The
connectivity index is defined by analogy
with the Randic connectivity index and is defined as
This descriptor is designed by analogy with the Lovasz-Pelikan
index and describes molecular branching and is defined as the
first eigenvalue of
These are defined analogously to the H-GETAWAY autocorrelational
indices and so we have the w weighted k'th order
autocorrelation index
where
. We can also calculate the a R total
index defined as
