Hi Greg,
Thanks for the answer. The graphs going in are very simple, so they will just
be a collection of C,O,S,N atoms obeying valency laws, I will have a look and
see how the sanitise function deals with my inputs when I have some of the
other functionality issues iron out.
Best,
Nick

Hi All,
I am hoping for a piece of advice, I have a graph (connectivity matrix with
atom indexes) and I want to make a molecule from that graph. I was planning
on creating an sdf and then reading in this way, however I've seen that
rdkit reading in sdf's is quite slow. So the question is, which way to
people think is the quickest to generate an rdkit mol from a graph?
I don't think it's actually reading the molecule from SDF that's slow.
The slow part is sanitizing it. More carefully: the slowest part is
cleaning up the stereochemistry.
Still, if you have a graph already, you should work from there instead
of going through an sdf layer.
the RWMol class has addAtom() and addBond() methods that you can use
to build the molecules.
Depending on how much you trust the input you're getting, you can then
call either MolOps::sanitizeMol() or use some of the individual
functions called from within that to get enough information attached
to the molecule for it to be useful. This bit has gotten a lot easier
in the svn version of the RDKit since you can now specify which
sanitization steps should be carried out.
