http://blue.chem.psu.edu/~rajarshi/code/java/#smi2sdf Right now it will only make an SD file with 2D coords - I don't know the status of the 3D coordinate generator. Also it only processes 1 SMILES string specified on the command line, though I'll later put in an option to accept a file of SMILES strings. So given this and a shell script, you should be able to convert all the SMILES and generate the topological descriptors. Thanks for the pointer - I've updated the TODO list for the descriptor GUI and I'll add this feature. > This is the sort of application that the CDK really needs (also > QSARonline sounds very promising). Embarassingly, I have to say that QSAROnline is stalled. The guy who was handling the web framework (Spring, Hibernate etc) moved on. And looking at the docs/examples scares me! So until someone who knows Spring, Hibernate etc can work on it, its not going to go very far :( ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajarshi Guha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://jijo.cjb.net> GPG Fingerprint: 0CCA 8EE2 2EEB 25E2 AB04 06F7 1BB9 E634 9B87 56EE ------------------------------------------------------------------- 667: The neighbor of the beast. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
