Hi all,

I've been looking at different Fingerprints within the RDKit when I
realized, that it matters  for many of them whether Hydrogens are
explicitly present or not. This probably was obvious and clear for many of
you but I wasn't aware of that.

To visualize what I mean please see below notebook:

http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/kienerj/notebooks/blob/master/Fingerprint%20Similarity%20-%20with%20and%20without%20hydrogens.ipynb

Now my questions are:

Should I always add hydrogens before generating fingerprints or should I
remove them?

How is this handled in KNIME nodes? Do I need to perform the according
action (add/remove H) before generating the fingerprint? Or is this done
correctly already internally of the node?

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,

Joos
