Software SubMat

 

Calculation of binary substructure descriptors

 

Version 3.1, June 2004 (free demo version)

 

A chemical structure can be represented by a binary vector (a bit string, a series of "0" and "1", a fingerprint).

A "1" indicates that a particular substructure is present, a "0" that it is absent.

 

Software SubMat calculates such binary substructure descriptors.

The substructures can be defined by the user, or a set of provided 500 general purpose substructures can be used.

SubMat is a scientifically oriented tool for chemoinformatics. See demo example.

 

SubMat requires as INPUT:

An input file with n1 molecular structures (in Molfile format, *.SDF),

an input file with n2 substructures (in Molfile format, *.SDF),

a few parameters (name of output file, format specification of output file).

 

SubMat produces as OUTPUT:

A text file with n1 rows (each for one molecular structure),

and n2 columns (each for a substructure, containing "0" or "1"),

and optionally some additional data (for instance identification numbers of structures).

This result file can be easily imported into other software, for instance for multivariate data analysis.

 

Typical computing time for 1000 molecular structures and 200 substructures is 1 second.

 

Optionally, SubMat can be called and controlled from another software via a command file.

 

A file with 500 substructures is included; they are considered as "general purpose substructures" for organic compounds.

 

SubMat is running under MS Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
