implements chemaxon.license.Licensable

    R-group decomposition.

    Given a scaffold structure with attached R1, R2, ... nodes as query, determines the possible R-group decompositions of given target molecule. A decomposition consists of the matching scaffold and the R1, R2, ... ligands with attachment points. Each decomposition corresponds to a group hit, see Search.findFirstGroup() and Search.findNextGroup().

    After setting the query, the target, and possibly the search options, call findFirstDecomposition() and findNextDecomposition() to get the decompositions. Call Decomposition.equals(java.lang.Object) to filter equivalent decompositions that provide the same ligands (but correspond to different group hits). Color the decomposition by calling Decomposition.color() or Decomposition.color(java.lang.String). To create a result table with all decompositions right away, call findLigandTable(int, int, java.lang.String). Alternatively, you can get the table header with query, target and R-atoms, call getLigandTableHeader(int, int, java.lang.String) and then add only a single table row corresponding to the first decomposition by calling findLigandTableRow(int, java.lang.String). Different ligand attachment types can be set in setAttachmentType(int). As of JChem 5.3, extra ligands without matching R-atom are not allowed. As of JChem 5.3, a query without R-atoms will be automatically modified in setQuery(chemaxon.struc.Molecule): R-atoms will be added in place of implicit hydrogens by addRGroupsInPlaceOfImplHs(chemaxon.struc.Molecule). The R-grouped query can be retrieved by getRGroupedQuery(). If the original query contains R-atoms then the default R-atom matching behavior is SearchConstants.UNDEF_R_MATCHING_GROUP_H, otherwise the default matching behavior of the automatically added R-atoms is SearchConstants.UNDEF_R_MATCHING_GROUP_H_EMPTY (the empty set matching is allowed here because we expect that ligands are attached to some of the implicit hydrogens in the original query, but not necessarily all implicit hydrogens have corresponding ligands).

    Search options:

    The options below have different default values as in MolSearch:

    API usage examples:

    query: the query molecule
    target: the target molecule

    • Set parameters, get decomposition results, color target according to decomposition in SDF tag: 
       RGroupDecomposition rgd = new RGroupDecomposition();

 // set search options
 rgd.getSearchOptions().setRLigandEqualityCheck(false);
 rgd.getSearchOptions().setBridgingRAllowed(false);
 rgd.getSearchOptions().setUndefinedRAtom(SearchOptions.UNDEF_R_MATCHING_GROUP);

 // set query and target
 rgd.setQuery(query);
 rgd.setTarget(target);

 // find decompositions, output colored and aligned target
 MolExporter exporter = new MolExporter(System.out, "sdf:-a");
 ArrayList list = new ArrayList ();
 Decomposition d = rgd.findFirstDecomposition();
 while (d != null) {
     boolean duplicate = false;
     for (int i=list.size()-1; i >= 0; --i) {
           if (d.equals(list.get(i))) {
             duplicate = true;
             break;
         }
     }
     if (!duplicate) {
           list.add(d);
         d.color("DMAP");
         exporter.write(d.getTarget());
     }
     d = rgd.findNextDecomposition();
 }
 exporter.close();
    • Get non-scaffold ligands, standardize both query and targets, output ligands in first decomposition: 
       // standardize query and targets to find hits
 // in most cases aromatization only will be sufficient
 Standardizer st = new Standardizer("aromatize..N=[N:1]#[N:2]>>N=[N+:1]=[N-:2]");

 RGroupDecomposition rgd = new RGroupDecomposition();
 rgd.setAttachmentType(SearchConstants.ATTACHMENT_MAP);

 // standardize and set query
 st.standardize(query);
 rgd.setQuery(query);

 // standardize and set target
 st.standardize(target);
 rgd.setTarget(target);

 // process decomposition, output ligands
 Decomposition d = rgd.findDecomposition();
 if (d != null) {
     Molecule[] ligands = d.getLigands();
     for (Molecule ligand : ligands) {
         if (ligand != null) {
             System.out.println(ligand.toFormat("smiles"));
         }
     }
 }
    • Color decomposition in atom sets, align target and ligands according to query, output in MRV: 
       RGroupDecomposition rgd = new RGroupDecomposition();
 rgd.setAttachmentType(SearchConstants.ATTACHMENT_POINT);
 rgd.setAlign(true);
 rgd.setQuery(query);
 rgd.setTarget(target);
 MolExporter exporter = new MolExporter(System.out, "mrv:-a");

 Decomposition d = rgd.findDecomposition();
 if (d != null) {
     d.color();
     Molecule[] ligands = d.getLigands();
     Molecule scaffold = d.getScaffold();
     for (Molecule ligand : ligands) {
           if (ligand != null) {
               exporter.write(ligand);
           } else {
             exporter.write(scaffold);
         }
     }
 }

 exporter.close();
    • Image export with target coloring: 
       // standardize query and targets to find hits
 // in most cases aromatization only will be sufficient
 Standardizer st = new Standardizer("aromatize..N=[N:1]#[N:2]>>N=[N+:1]=[N-:2]");

 // init RGroupDecomposition
 RGroupDecomposition rgd = new RGroupDecomposition();

 // set target and ligand alignment according to query
 rgd.setAlign(true);

 // set attachment data in atom labels as "R1", "R2", ...
 rgd.setAttachmentType(SearchConstants.ATTACHMENT_RLABEL);

 // standardize and set query
 st.standardize(query);
 rgd.setQuery(query);

 // standardize and set target
 st.standardize(target);
 rgd.setTarget(target);

 // process decompositions
 int index = 0;
 Decomposition d = null;
 if ((d = rgd.findDecomposition()) != null) {
     ++index;

     // color in atom sets
     d.color();

     // get the colored target
     Molecule mol = d.getTarget();

     // convert to PNG with default set colors
     // 'mono' option is needed to supress the default CPK atom coloring
     byte[] png = mol.toBinFormat("png:-a,mono,setcolors");

     // write to file
     BufferedOutputStream os = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("img-"+index+".png"));
     os.write(png, 0, png.length);
     os.flush();
     os.close();

     // get the query from the decomposition (possibly with automatically added R-atoms):
     Molecule rgquery = d.getQuery();

     // get the colored ligands
     Molecule[] ligands = d.getLigands();
     for (int i=0; i < ligands.length; ++i) {
           if (ligands[i] != null) {
               png = ligands[i].toBinFormat("png:-a,mono,setcolors");
               os = new BufferedOutputStream(
                      new FileOutputStream("img-"+index+"-R"+rgquery.getAtom(i).getRgroup()+".png"));
               os.write(png, 0, png.length);
               os.flush();
               os.close();
           }
     }
 }
    • Get a colored ligand table with coloring data set in the "DMAP" SDF tag: 
       RGroupDecomposition rgd = new RGroupDecomposition();
 rgd.setAttachmentType(SearchConstants.ATTACHMENT_ATOM); // attachment type: any-atoms
 rgd.setQuery(query);
 rgd.setTarget(target);
 Molecule[][] ligandTable = rgd.findLigandTable(RGroupDecomposition.HEADER_RGROUP,
     RGroupDecomposition.COL_MOLECULE | RGroupDecomposition.COL_SCAFFOLD, "DMAP");
    • Get a colored ligand table for different targets, one row for each target corresponding to the first decomposition (note, that this is null if there is no hit), align target and ligands according to query, coloring data set in atom sets (for MRV output): 
       RGroupDecomposition rgd = new RGroupDecomposition();
 rgd.setAttachmentType(SearchConstants.ATTACHMENT_MAP);
 rgd.setAlign(true);
 rgd.setQuery(query);
 Molecule[][] ligandTable = new Molecule[targets.length+1][];
 ligandTable[0] = rgd.getLigandTableHeader(RGroupDecomposition.HEADER_MAP,
     RGroupDecomposition.COL_MOLECULE);
 for (int i=0; i < targets.length; ++i) {
     rgd.setTarget(targets[i]);
     ligandTable[i+1] = rgd.findLigandTableRow(RGroupDecomposition.COL_MOLECULE);
 }
    • Get ligands corresponding to R1 atoms: 
       // standardize query and targets to find hits
 // in most cases this is not needed, since the
 // default standardization (aromatization only) will be sufficient
 Standardizer st = new Standardizer("aromatize..N=[N:1]#[N:2]>>N=[N+:1]=[N-:2]");

 // init RGroupDecomposition, set query
 RGroupDecomposition rgd = new RGroupDecomposition();
 rgd.setAttachmentType(SearchConstants.ATTACHMENT_MAP);
 rgd.getSearchOptions().setRLigandEqualityCheck(false);

 // standardize and set query
 st.standardize(query);
 rgd.setQuery(query);

 // standardize and set target
 st.standardize(target);
 rgd.setTarget(target);

 // process decomposition
 Decomposition d = rgd.findDecomposition();
 if (d != null) {

     // get query from decomposition, possibly R-atoms added automatically:
     Molecule rgquery = d.getQuery();

     // get the ligands:
     Molecule[] ligands = d.getLigands();

     // look for R1 ligands:
     for (int i=0; i < ligands.length; ++i) {
         if ((rgquery.getAtom(i).getAtno() == MolAtom.RGROUP) &&
             (rgquery.getAtom(i).getRgroup() == 1)) {
             if (ligands[i] != null) {
                 System.out.println(ligands[i].toFormat("smiles"));

      • addRGroupsInPlaceOfImplHs

        public static Set<MolAtom> addRGroupsInPlaceOfImplHs​(Molecule query)
        Adds different rgroup atoms connected by any-bonds to query molecule in place of all implicit H-s. In this way ligands will be accepted and stored at all possible attachments. As of JChem 5.3, these R-atoms are added automatically if the query does not contain undefined R-atoms. In this case R-atoms are allowed to match the empty set. Call this before setQuery(chemaxon.struc.Molecule).
        Parameters:
        query - is the query molecule to be set
        Returns:
        those RAtom neighbours on which no s* property can be put because the RAtom can match on hydrogen.

      • addRGroupsInPlaceOfImplHs

        public static Set<MolAtom> addRGroupsInPlaceOfImplHs​(Molecule query,
                                                     int bondType)
        Adds different rgroup atoms connected by the specified bond type to query molecule in place of all implicit H-s. Bond types: see constants in MolBond. In this way ligands will be accepted and stored at all possible attachments. Call this before setQuery(chemaxon.struc.Molecule).
        Parameters:
        query - is the query molecule to be set
        bondType - is the attachment bond type
        Returns:

      • setAlign

        public void setAlign​(boolean align)
        Sets alignment. Default: false.
        Parameters:
        align - is true if ligands and target should be aligned (cleaned)

        Returns:
        true if query contains Markush features other than defined R-groups and homologies

      • setQuery

        public void setQuery​(Molecule mol)
        Specifies the query structure to search for. If the query does not contain undefined R-atoms then addRGroupsInPlaceOfImplHs(chemaxon.struc.Molecule) is called to put R-atoms in place of implicit hydrogens - in this case undefined R-atoms are allowed to match the empty set, apart from heavy atom groups or hydrogen atoms. If the query contains R-atoms, these are allowed to match heavy atom groups or hydrogen atoms, but not the empty set.
        Specified by:
        setQuery in interface SimpleSearcher
        Overrides:
        setQuery in class MolSearch
        Parameters:
