Where the article explains it
where h(s) is the hit rate measured directly among compounds actually synthesized and tested at docking-score bin s , and N(s) is the number of untested library members scored into that bin.
The passage around this formula
where h(s) is the hit rate measured directly among compounds actually synthesized and tested at docking-score bin s , and N(s) is the number of untested library members scored into that bin. Applying this to the D4 results produced an estimate of roughly 453,000 ligands across the full 138-million-compound library — a projection under an assumed score-to-hit-rate relationship, not a directly counted total. Confirmed…
