    Study Notes

    Chemical Graph Representation and Structure Searching

    • Isomorphic graphs have the same number of nodes and edges, and can be mapped to each other with equivalent nodes and edges.
    • Connection tables communicate molecular graphs to and from computers, consisting of atomic numbers and bond pairs.
    • Linear notation uses alphanumeric characters to encode molecular structures in a compact form.
    • SMILES notation is a widely accepted linear notation, representing atoms by their atomic symbol and using upper and lower case for aliphatic and aromatic atoms.
    • Geometrical isomerism about double bonds is indicated using slashes in SMILES notation.
    • Canonical representation of molecular structures is crucial for avoiding duplicates in chemical database systems.
    • The Morgan algorithm is a widely used method for determining a canonical order of atoms in a molecular graph, incorporating stereochemistry information.
    • The CANGEN algorithm generates a unique SMILES string for each molecule using similar principles to the Morgan algorithm.
    • Other formats for general utility include the canonical InChI representation by IUPAC and the Chemical Markup Language (CML).
    • Structure searching converts the structure into a representation, allowing direct retrieval of information from the database through the generation of a hash key.
    • Hash keys are integers used to retrieve information by moving the disk read mechanism directly to the location associated with the structure.
    • Substructure searching identifies all molecules in the database containing a specified substructure, such as a particular functional group.
