addition of the graph-based nodes description #17

Closed trioxane closed 6 years ago

trioxane commented 6 years ago

I think that besides the _topol_repres_node.chemical_formula_iupac, _topol_repres_node.chemical_formula_moiety and _topol_repres_node.chemical_formula_sum fields describing composition of a node one can add the graph-based descriptors for both structure and composition of the finite structural units such as SMILES, InChI or InChIKey.

merkys commented 6 years ago

I agree. Graph-based descriptors preserve the connectivity and, in addition, they are relatively easy to machine-parse.

jamesrhester commented 6 years ago

Sounds great. Could somebody provide the canonical reference for these?

Here is the article on the InChI: Heller et al. Journal of Cheminformatics (2015) 7:23 , DOI:10.1186/s13321-015-0068-4; and a FAQ - https://www.inchi-trust.org/technical-faq/

This is the article on the SMILES: https://jcheminf.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/1758-2946-4-22; and specification of one of the SMILES version - http://opensmiles.org/opensmiles.html

Added in latest update. Please check.

merkys commented 6 years ago

Seems OK. The only notice is that InChI is spelled with the last capital "I" while in dictionary it is spelled "InChi".

jamesrhester commented 6 years ago

Spelling fixed.
