Hi Folks, We are building a tool that generates libraries of compounds based on a list of reactants and a set of compatible reactants, and allows selection of the products. We define the process as "product-based reactant selection" from an old paper (at the end of the day we need to make these

We use "reaction-based enumeration" to distinguish it from "R-group enumeration". Both are types of virtual library enumeration. R-group enumeration allows you to attach any R-group anywhere. It is simple and fast but you can easily create implausible (or hard to synthesize) molecules if you are

Hello, all I have written a script which extracts certain residues from a PDB file, and writes them out to a new PDB-file. The script looks like this: from rdkit import Chem def create_sub_mol(mol_in, mol_in_conf, bs_atom_list): """ Creates a mol of given atoms atoms, e.g. the atoms

I recall the first time I heard the term was in a project meeting in RiboTargets back in around 1999/2000. One of our modelling group used it after hearing discussion of results of in vitro and in vivo studies being discussed. My recollection is that there was a certain amount of amusement at

Without your more detailled explanation of what that term specifically means I was wondering too at first. But then I did the most obvious thing: search for it online and found https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22in+silico+synthesis%22=en_sdt=0_vis=1=scholart . Looks to me other people use

I actually like *in silico* synthesis - though I don't think I've seen it before - but I can imagine a chemist finding it objectionable. I would probably use "virtual library enumeration" -greg On Fri, Sep 25, 2020 at 7:21 AM Bennion, Brian via Rdkit-discuss <
