I have a database which contains these three molecules. N[C@H](Cc1ccc(B(O)O)cc1)C(=O)O N[C@@H](Cc1ccc(B(O)O)cc1)C(=O)O NC(Cc1ccc(B(O)O)cc1)C(=O)O
It seems that the exact search does not respect the rdkit.do_chiral_sss # select * from rdk.mols where m@= mol_from_smiles('NC(Cc1ccc(B(O)O)cc1)C(=O)O'); structure_id | m --------------+---------------------------- 29303328 | NC(Cc1ccc(B(O)O)cc1)C(=O)O (1 row) With do_chiral_sss set to false I would expect that all three would be found! Instead the @= will only find the those with matching stereochemistry. The @> operator does return all three, but it also returns hits that contain more than what I want. Moreover the semantics of the operators seem arbitrary. I think it would be better if chiral searching was done with an option to the operator rather than a session variable, but at least chiral searching should be consistent!
