Stereoisomers, tautomers and protomers must be enumerated using, for instance, OpenEye tools, and Morgan fingerprints must be calculated (Fig. 3). Other similar database preparation tools can be used for the same purpose. The procedure described here calculates all the possible stereoisomers of a given molecule and the dominant tautomer form (protonated at pH 7.4) for each isomer. These commands can be changed, for example, to enumerate multiple tautomers and protomers (see for guidance); each of these must be assigned a unique name, however, resulting in a substantial increase in the number of unique library entries. For some chemical libraries, the tautomers and protomers are partially or completely enumerated, and therefore these steps may not be required.

Initially, the library is obtained in SMILES format and split into evenly populated files to facilitate sampling and inference. Depending on the available resources, the user can then follow two preparation procedures. Procedure 1 (manual preparation) requires each preparation action to be executed manually (enumeration of stereoisomers, tautomers and protomers; renaming the files; and calculation of Morgan fingerprints). Procedure 2 (automated) allows running all the preparation automatically; however, it requires access to a computing cluster running with a job scheduler (Slurm). Both processes will generate a folder with the prepared SMILES and another one with the corresponding Morgan fingerprints in DD format.
