Thanks Dave, Yes I have successfully replicated the existing substructure match to get the lists that would be autogenerated by GetBestRMS and am now working on the permutations arising from the carboxylates. my code would work right now if i only had one COO... *Kind Regards* Dr. Martin

Hi Martin, Sorry, I forgot to 'Reply All' last night. I think you need to do a bit more work than just map the carboxylate groups. Phenol maps onto itself twice, going either way round the phenyl ring. GetBestRMS does this for you, and reports the lower RMS. For benzoic acid, adding the

Update, the explicit or not charge is not relevant. that just determines the behaviour of the AssignBondOrderstoTemplate. The behaviour is that GetBestRMS does not consider a carboxylate as symmetric. Can anyone suggest a workaround to treat as symmetric? *Kind Regards* Dr. Martin Watson VP

[Rdkit-discuss] GetBestRMS and the carboxylic acid

2018-04-17 Thread Martin Watson
Hi I'm using GetBestRMS to score conformers in an sdf relative to a pdb extracted sdf ligand using the snippet below. I get odd behaviour when the molecule includes a carboxylic acid. depending on whether the charge is explicitly defined in the sdf or not I get a different RMS which seems to be
