Hi, This problem is probably due to my lack of chemistry knowledge but plese have a look:
If I do a substructure search in ChEMBL using aspirin (CHEMBL25) as a query (ChEMBL API uses the Symix catridge): from chembl_webresource_client.new_client import new_client res = new_client.substructure.filter(chembl_id='CHEMBL25') One of them will be CHEMBL1999443: 'CHEMBL1999443' in (r['molecule_chembl_id'] for r in res) >>> True Now I take the molfile: new_client.molecule.set_format('mol') mol = new_client.molecule.get('CHEMBL1999443') and load it with aspirin into rdkit: from rdkit import Chem m = Chem.MolFromMolBlock(mol) pattern = Chem.MolFromMolBlock(new_client.molecule.get('CHEMBL25')) If I check if it has an aspirin as a substructure using rdkit, I'm getting false... m.HasSubstructMatch(pattern) >>> False Looking at this blog post: https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit-tutorials/blob/master/notebooks/002_SMARTS_SubstructureMatching.ipynb I tried to initialize rings and retry: Chem.GetSymmSSSR(m) m.HasSubstructMatch(pattern) >>>False Chem.GetSymmSSSR(pattern) m.HasSubstructMatch(pattern) >>>False But as you can see without any luck. Is there anything else I can do to get the match anyway? Without having a match I can't aligh and higlight asprin substructure in CHEMBL1999443 image using GenerateDepictionMatching2DStructure and DrawMolecule functions.
