Class HLBPlugin

All Implemented Interfaces:
TaggedCalculator, Licensable

@PublicApi public final class HLBPlugin extends CalculatorPlugin
Calculates hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of a molecule. The HLB is a measure of the degree to which molecule hydrophilic or lipophilic, determined by calculating values for the different regions of the molecule, as described by Griffin. Other methods have been suggested, notably in by Davies.

API usage example:

 // Construct the plugin class
 HLBPlugin plugin = new HLBPlugin();
 Molecule mol = ...

 // Set the input molecule and run calculation
 plugin.setMolecule(mol);
 plugin.run();

 // Get HLB values
 plugin.getDaviesHLBValue();
 plugin.getGriffinHLBValue();
