What are the best fingerprints to characterize molecules?
tldr; There is not necessarily a "best" fingerprint method because there are many, many ways to generate fingerprints. ECFP4 or ECFP6 with >2048 bits is usually decent.
Generally speaking, a ...

State of the art in computational materials design
I am sure there are A LOT of authors publishing papers to answer this very question. Mainly because the theories employed have face a paradigm since "one-size-doesn't-fit-all".
Here are the ...

What are the best fingerprints to characterize molecules?
I don't think there is an universal answer: the fingerprint is probably highly property dependent, since there is no single property that fully characterizes a molecule. (This is also the likely ...

Which properties would you study to evaluate spatial confinement of a molecule
The vibrational properties of the molecule should change under confinement. You could compute IR spectra or more simply vibrational spectra of the molecule to probe this. The benefit of this is that ...
