ChemmineR (version 2.24.2)

searchString: PubChem Similarity (Fingerprint) SMILES Search

Description

Accepts one SMILES string (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) and performs a >0.95 similarity PubChem fingerprint search, returning the hits in an SDFset container. The ChemMine Tools web service is used as an intermediate, to translate queries from plain HTTP POST to a PubChem Power User Gateway (PUG) query.

Usage

searchString(smiles)

Arguments

smiles

A character object which contains one SMILES string
