  "term": "Circular fingerprints",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of molecular fingerprint that encodes structural information about a chemical compound by iteratively expanding from each atom to its neighbors within a defined radius. These fingerprints capture local atomic environments and are commonly used in cheminformatics for tasks such as similarity searching and machine learning model development. Extended Connectivity Fingerprints (ECFPs) are a widely used example.",
