Hi Christian,

Just checked and you're right. For a zero-atom linker Murcko draws 2 atoms.
For one-atom linker 3 and so on. So he's including the atom of the ring as
well.
Currently the code is only doing this for the zero-atom linker, which is why
I was confused.
If it would be implemented like (so including the ring-atom) then it would
also solve the inconsistency of the exocyclicDoubleBonds parameter. I agree
on keeping the double bonds attached. By the way, in part 2 of Murcko's
article he's doing the same for the side-chains but he puts a lable on it
(Augmented side chains). 

Kind Regards,

Peter

Hi,
> That is, for zero-atom linkers I found 2 atoms.
Yes, these are the two ring atoms. In the Murcko paper a linker is defined
as the atoms between two ring systems + the ring atoms. I think I have to
check if also for the other linkers the ring atoms are included...I am not
sure.

I will have to change the documentation. I wanted to keep double bonds on
ring systems and linkers, better on the Murcko fragment.In some newer
studies these Murcko-like fragments (chemotypes) shows a greater usefullness
in classifying compounds, see e.g. studies of G.M.Maggiora (and in-house).
So I implemented this instead of the "simple" Murcko scaffold.
I will put it on the to do list.

best regards

Christian
