    viii. SKMostHydrophobicHydrophilicDistance: This descriptor signifies distance between most hydrophobic and       hydrophilic point on the vdW surface. (By Kellog Method using Slogp)
  23. Sub class: Polar Surface Area
    i. PolarSurfaceAreaExcludingPandS: This descriptor signifies total polar surface area excluding phosphorous    and sulphur.
    ii. PolarSurfaceAreaIncludingPandS: This descriptor signifies total polar surface area including phosphorous    and sulphur.
B. Alignment Independent (AI) descriptors class: (more than 700 descriptors)
Alignment Independent descriptors are calculated as discussed in Baumann’s paper [1]. For calculation of AI descriptors every atom in the molecule was assigned at least one and at most three attributes. The first attribute is ‘T-attribute’ to thoroughly characterize the topology of the molecule. The second attribute is the atom type. The atom symbol is used here. The third attribute is assigned to atoms taking part in a double or triple bond. After all atoms have been assigned their respective attributes, selective distancecount statistics for all combinations of different attributes are computed [1]. A selective distance count statistic ‘XY2’ (e.g. ‘TOPO2N3) counts all the fragments between start atom with attribute ‘X’ (e.g. ‘2’ double bonded atom) and end atom with attribute ‘Y’ (e.g. ‘N’) separated by the graph distance 3. The graph distance can be defined as the smallest number of atoms along the path connecting two atoms in molecular structure. In this study to calculate AI descriptors, we have used following attributes: 2 (double bonded atom), 3(triple bonded atom), C, N, O, S, H, F, Cl, Br and I and the distance range of 0 to 7.
Some other examples are as follows:
   i. T_2_O_7: This is the count of number of double bounded atoms (i.e. any double bonded atom, T_2) separated       from Oxygen atom by 7 bonds in a molecule.
  ii. T_2_N_5: This is the count of number of double bounded atoms (i.e. any double bonded atom, T_2) separated       from Nitrogen atom by 5 bonds.
  iii. T_N_N_5: This is the count of number of Nitrogen atoms (single double or triple bonded) separated from any       other Nitrogen atom (single double or triple bonded) by 5 bonds in a molecule.
  iv. T_2_2_6: This is the count of number of double bounded atoms (i.e. any double bonded atom, T_2) separated       from any other double bonded atom by 6 bonds in a molecule.
  v. T_C_O_1: This is the count of number of Carbon atoms (single double or triple bonded) separated from any       Oxygen atom (single or double bonded) by 1 bond distance in a molecule.
  vi. T_O_Cl_5: This is the count of number of Oxygen atoms (single double or triple bonded) separated from        Chlorine atom by 5 bond distance in a molecule.
Similarly around 700 alignment independent descriptors can be generated considering topology of the molecule, atom type & bond.
C. Atom type count descriptors class: (total 99 descriptors)
The atom type count descriptors are based on MMFF atom types and their count in each molecule. In MMFF, there are 99 atom types and hence 99 descriptors indicating number of times that atom type has occurred in a given molecule are generated.
