Hi Egon,

 

I also started playing with SMIRKS only a few days ago but I think you need to 
specify the neutral charge and hydrogen saturation in the product explicitly. I 
tried “[O-:1]>>[O;+0;H1:1]” and it produced the output you are looking for 
(O=C(O)C).

If you use the transform mode “Unique”, you will get as many structures 
returned as there are matches to your SMIRKS in the molecule. So in each 
returned structure, one carboxylic acid would be neutralised. But I guess this 
is only the first step towards what you are looking for. I am actually faced 
with a similar problem right now, i.e. enumerating all possible transformation 
combinations for one molecule and multiple SMIRKS…

 

Hope this was of help.

 

Kind regards,

Jonas

Hi John, all,

 

I am playing with SMIRKS but it's pretty new to me. 

 

Transform neutralAcid = Smirks.compile("[O-:1]>>[O:1]");

IAtomContainer cdkStruct = parser.parseSmiles("CC(=O)[O-]");
Iterable<IAtomContainer> iterable = neutralAcid.apply(cdkStruct, 
Transform.Mode.Exclusive);
for (IAtomContainer neutral : iterable) {
  String neutralSmiles = generator.createSMILES(neutral);

  System.out.println(neutralSmiles);
}

 

(I hope I did not make any copy/paste typos)

 

Why am I not getting this as output: CC(=O)O ?

 

(Actually, let's assume I can get that working, let's say we have multiple 
carboxylic acids and amine groups, how would one enumerate all possible charge 
states? Is that possible with just SMIRKS?)

 

Egon
