Description

Substructure Search - Small Scale Substructure Matching finds molecules containing patterns of interest, defined by MDL queries, from a database of molecules.

The minimal inputs into Substructure Search are an MDL query and a search database of molecules both in either 1D (SMILES), 2D (SD, mol2) or 3D format.

The output from the Substructure Search floe is a hitlist with the least complex molecules at the top.
