Hi all,
the Isomorphism class has an init method:
public void init(IMolecule reactant, IMolecule product, boolean removeHydrogen,
boolean cleanAndConfigureMolecule) throws CDKException {
this.removeHydrogen = removeHydrogen;
init(new MolHandler(reactant, removeHydrogen,
cleanAndConfigureMolecule),
new MolHandler(product, removeHydrogen,
cleanAndConfigureMolecule));
}
The molecules I pass into this method have no explicit hydrogens and are
configured so both flags removeHydrogen and cleanAndConfigureMolecule I should
be able to set them to false.
The issue is the removeHydrogen flag. If I set it to "false" it cripples
performance compared to "true". However even with flag set to true UIT is
faster!
MolHandler Constructor:
public MolHandler(IAtomContainer container, boolean removeHydrogen, boolean
cleanMolecule) {
String molID = container.getID();
this.removeHydrogen = removeHydrogen;
this.atomContainer = container;
if (removeHydrogen) {
try {
this.atomContainer =
ExtAtomContainerManipulator.removeHydrogensExceptSingleAndPreserveAtomID(atomContainer);
<- remove Hydrogen set to true
} catch (Exception ex) {
logger.error(ex);
}
} else {
this.atomContainer =
container.getBuilder().newInstance(IAtomContainer.class, atomContainer); <-
remove Hydrogen set to false. this is pointless IMHO. do nothing.
}
if (cleanMolecule) {
try {
if (!isPseudoAtoms()) {
atomContainer =
canonLabeler.getCanonicalMolecule(atomContainer);
}
// percieve atoms, set valency etc
ExtAtomContainerManipulator.percieveAtomTypesAndConfigureAtoms(atomContainer);
//Add implicit Hydrogens
CDKHydrogenAdder adder =
CDKHydrogenAdder.getInstance(atomContainer.getBuilder());
adder.addImplicitHydrogens(atomContainer);
// figure out which atoms are in aromatic rings:
CDKHueckelAromaticityDetector.detectAromaticity(atomContainer);
} catch (CDKException ex) {
logger.error(ex);
}
}
atomContainer.setID(molID);
}
I tried to determine what actually is done in both code-path.
Setting removeHydrogen to "true":
Bascially clones all atoms (except H) and all bonds (except does that were
connected to H) into a new Molecule and sets implicit hydrogen. In my case this
is just a waste of CPU time.
Setting removeHydrogen to "false":
Executes following line of code:
this.atomContainer = container.getBuilder().newInstance(IAtomContainer.class,
atomContainer);
What is the point of this? IMHO it's 100% pointless and a waste of CPU time.
I'm not sure why this cripples performance because what it ends up doing is
this:
public AtomContainer(IAtomContainer container)
{
this.atomCount = container.getAtomCount();
this.bondCount = container.getBondCount();
this.lonePairCount = container.getLonePairCount();
this.singleElectronCount = container.getSingleElectronCount();
this.atoms = new IAtom[this.atomCount];
this.bonds = new IBond[this.bondCount];
this.lonePairs = new ILonePair[this.lonePairCount];
this.singleElectrons = new ISingleElectron[this.singleElectronCount];
stereoElements = new ArrayList<IStereoElement>(atomCount/2);
for (int f = 0; f < container.getAtomCount(); f++) {
atoms[f] = container.getAtom(f);
container.getAtom(f).addListener(this);
}
for (int f = 0; f < this.bondCount; f++) {
bonds[f] = container.getBond(f);
container.getBond(f).addListener(this);
}
for (int f = 0; f < this.lonePairCount; f++) {
lonePairs[f] = container.getLonePair(f);
container.getLonePair(f).addListener(this);
}
for (int f = 0; f < this.singleElectronCount; f++) {
singleElectrons[f] = container.getSingleElectron(f);
container.getSingleElectron(f).addListener(this);
}
}
So it also copies the whole Molecule into a new AtomContainer. Not sure why
this is so much slower but it is besides being pointless. The number of hits
found is identical to setting removeHydrogens to true or using UIT.
I'm not sure why everyone says UIT is much slower. It is theoretically but in
my case it is not probably because of the useless work done as indicated above.
Any comments? Am I missing something?

Thomas
