From Structure Diagrams to Visual Chemical Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intuitive way of chemists to communicate molecules is via two-dimensional structure diagrams. The straightforward visual representations are mostly preferred to the often complicated systematic chemical names. For chemical patterns, however, no comparable visualization standards have evolved so far. Chemical patterns denoting descriptions of chemical features are needed whenever a set of molecules is filtered for certain properties. The currently available representations are constrained to linear molecular pattern languages which are hardly human readable and therefore keep chemists without computational background from systematically formulating patterns. Therefore, we introduce a new visualization concept for chemical patterns. The common standard concept of structure diagrams is extended to account for property descriptions and logic combinations of chemical features in patterns. As a first application of the new concept, we developed the SMARTSviewer, a tool that converts chemical patterns encoded in SMARTS strings to a visual representation. The graphic pattern depiction provides an overview of the specified chemical features, variations, and similarities without needing to decode the often cryptic linear expressions. Taking recent chemical publications from various fields, we demonstrate the wide application range of a graphical chemical pattern language.

Chemical pattern visualization in 2D – the SMARTSviewer
Chemical patterns are essential for various fields of chemical, chemoinformatic and pharmaceutical applications. So far, representations of chemical patterns are limited to linear molecular pattern languages like SMARTS [1]. As these languages are designed for computational efficiency, they are often hardly human readable. In order to improve the usability of chemical patterns for scientists wi...

The Upper Cretaceous volcanic and subvolcanic rocks from the Nageleh Sar, south of Mahmood Abad town in north Iran are dolerite, olivine basalt, trachyandesite and alkali trachyte. These units in an ordered stratification are set in a way that creates a syncline with WNW-ESE axial trend. The chemical data and discrimination diagrams represent medium alkaline bimodal series for the studied sampl...

متن کاملAutomated extraction of chemical structure information from digital raster images
BACKGROUND To search for chemical structures in research articles, diagrams or text representing molecules need to be translated to a standard chemical file format compatible with cheminformatic search engines. Nevertheless, chemical information contained in research articles is often referenced as analog diagrams of chemical structures embedded in digital raster images. To automate analog-to-d...

Aim: Family representation in the media expresses dominant discourses about its structure and patterns, and the media can create, confirm, or modify these discourses. This article looks at how family rules, structures, and patterns have evolved over the past few decades, and how cinema has played a role in this transformation and discourse, and in what ways, tools, as well as the changes in the...
