RDBE-Distribution
The rings-plus-double-bonds equivalent (RDBE) measures the number of rings and double bonds in the molecule. The RDBE values calculated using the most
common valences for the elements remain within a certain range for biologically relevant molecules.
The RDBE values of molecules in the KEGG database are gamma distributed. As the values between -1 and 2 are not well approximated by the distribution,
we use counting statistics to assign the scores in this interval.
