Hi Dan and Gustavo,
MCSS sounds good, but depends on the goal. >From the way Gustavo wrote, it sounds like a Query-Target substructure search >- he has a list of targets and one specific query, and he wants to compare >matching rate amongst the members of the list. If so, I would try query SMARTS. https://www.rdkit.org/docs/GettingStartedInPython.html#substructure-searching Regarding the % substructure match, interesting question. How would you quantify that? Not sure such a thing exists in RDKit right now.

Gustavo - That sounds like the "maximum common substructure" problem. Here's the relevant section in RDKit's "Getting started in Python" https://www.rdkit.org/docs/GettingStartedInPython.html#maximum-common-substructure dan nealschneider | lead developer [Schrodinger Logo]<https://www.schrodinger.com/> On Thu, Nov 19, 2020 at 8:50 AM Gustavo Seabra <gustavo.sea...@gmail.com<mailto:gustavo.sea...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi all, Is it possible to search for *partial* substructure matches using RDKit? I'm aware of "HasSubstructMatch/ GetSubstructMatch", but my impression is that it only returns full matches (100%) of the required pattern in a structure. However, what I'd like to do is a bit different: Imagine I have one specific substructure (scaffold), and I'd like to search for molecules that have the full substructure *or part of it*, and maybe get the percentage of the substructure match? (100% = the full substructure is contained in the molecule). For example, if the pattern is a naphthalene and the molecule to search has a benzene, that would count as a 60% match. Is there a way to do that in RDKit?
