If I understand correctly, the SQT searches for possible matches of a query pattern in a target structure. >From that point of view two hits make a lot of sense: You have a symmetrical cyclic molecule, so you get one hit for the expected mapping, and one hit for the mirror-image mapping.
explanation in lovely ascii art: provided molecule: ....n2--n3 .../........| c1.........| ...\........| ....n5--n4 provided query: ..nB---nC ./........| cA......| .\........| ..nE---nD match 1: (pairwise matching: 1A, 2B, 3C, 4D, 5E) ...n2--n3 ../........| c1........| ..\........| ...n5--n4 match 2: (pairwise matching: 1A, 2E, 3D, 4C, 5B) ...n5--n4 ../........| c1........| ..\........| ...n2--n3 Cheers, Jules On 26 September 2010 15:16, Rajarshi Guha <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sep 26, 2010, at 6:34 AM, Egon Willighagen wrote: > >> On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 2:15 PM, Egon Willighagen >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 2:11 PM, Rajarshi Guha <[email protected] >>> > wrote: >>>> n1nncn1 doesn't seem to be a valid SMILES - you're missing a H. >>> >>> Arghh... should have checked for that... :( >> >> OK, I updated my use case to look like: >> >> SMILES: [nH]1nncn1 >> SMARTS:[$(n1nncn1)] >> >> But now the SMARTSQueryTool returns me two hits...
