Slide 3 Structural Search Using ChemAxon Tools April Structural search in cheminformatics A few examples to highlight the diversity of applications. : Compound registration – duplicate checking Database search e.g. imidazole derivatives Pharmacophoric group identification (JChem Screen, JKlustor) Functional group identification Cleavage bond identification (JChem Fragmenter) Virtual reaction processing (JChem Reactor) Standardization (canonicalization of structures, JChem Standardizer) Toxical fragment identification (superstructure search)

Slide 4 Structural Search Using ChemAxon Tools April Search types in JChem ABAS(Atom By Atom Search) or structural search: – Exact – Substructure – Superstructure – MC(E)S – maximum common (edge) substructure – R-group decomposition (identify ligands of a given scaffold) Similarity search: – Different Descriptors – Different Metrics

Slide 5 Structural Search Using ChemAxon Tools April ABAS search interfaces JSP(Java Server Pages): web GUI for database –Similarity & structural search –Substructure highlighting –Additional constraints –Insert, modify, delete Command line utility: jcsearch: for files and DB Java API –isMatching() – Only to check matching –findFirst(), findNext()Enumerate all –findAll() possible matchings Cartridge: access all functionality from SQL Chemical Terms

Slide 6 Structural Search Using ChemAxon Tools April ABAS options General options: Order sensitive hits e.g. Pre-assignment of query and target atoms Consider stereo or not, absolute stereo (ignore chiral flag) Timeout limit Exact charge/radical/isotope/query features/bond/stereo matching Double bond stereo: no check/marked/all double bonds Chemical Terms filter expression etc Database search: Maximum search time/number of hits Additional SQL SELECT expression for prefiltering Output table Reverse hits mode
