Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __init__()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.__init__ ( MolecularGraph  query)

Constructs and initializes a SubstructureSearch instance for the specified query structure.

Parameters
queryA molecular graph that represents the query structure.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getObjectID()

int CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.getObjectID ( )

Returns the numeric identifier (ID) of the wrapped C++ class instance.

Different Python SubstructureSearch instances may reference the same underlying C++ class instance. The commonly used Python expression a is not b thus cannot tell reliably whether the two SubstructureSearch instances a and b reference different C++ objects. The numeric identifier returned by this method allows to correctly implement such an identity test via the simple expression a.getObjectID() != b.getObjectID().

Returns
The numeric ID of the internally referenced C++ class instance.

◆ setAtomMatchExpressionFunction()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.setAtomMatchExpressionFunction ( AtomMatchExpressionPtrAtomFunctor  func)
Parameters
func

◆ setBondMatchExpressionFunction()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.setBondMatchExpressionFunction ( BondMatchExpressionPtrBondFunctor  func)
Parameters
func

◆ setMolecularGraphMatchExpressionFunction()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.setMolecularGraphMatchExpressionFunction ( MolGraphMatchExpressionPtrMolGraphFunctor  func)
Parameters
func

◆ mappingExists()

bool CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.mappingExists ( MolecularGraph  target)

Tells whether the query structure matches a substructure of the specified target molecular graph.

The method does not store any atom/bond mappings between the query and target structure - it just tells if a complete mapping of the query is possible. If you need access to the atom/bond mappings, use findMappings() instead.

Parameters
targetThe molecular graph that has to be searched for a match of the query structure.
Returns
True if the query matches a substructure of the target molecular graph, and False otherwise.
Note
Any atom/bond mappings that were recorded in a previous call to findMappings() will be discarded.

◆ findMappings()

bool CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.findMappings ( MolecularGraph  target)

Searches for all possible atom/bond mappings of the query structure to substructures of the specified target molecular graph.

The method will store all found subgraph mapping solutions up to the maximum number of recorded mappings specified by setMaxNumMappings(). If only unique mappings have to be stored (see uniqueMappingsOnly(bool unique)), any duplicates of previously found mappings will be discarded.

Parameters
targetThe molecular graph that has to be searched for matches of the query structure.
Returns
True if the query matches at least one substructure of the specified target molecular graph, and False otherwise.
Note
Any atom/bond mappings that were recorded in a previous call to findMappings() will be discarded.

◆ getNumMappings()

int CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.getNumMappings ( )

Returns the number of atom/bond mappings that were recorded in the last call to findMappings().

Returns
The number of atom/bond mappings that were recorded in the last call to findMappings().

◆ getMapping()

AtomBondMapping CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.getMapping ( int  idx)

Returns a reference to the stored atom/bond mapping object at index idx.

Parameters
idxThe zero-based index of the atom/bond mapping object to return.
Returns
A reference to the atom/bond mapping object at index idx.
Exceptions
Base.IndexErrorif no mappings are available or idx is not in the range [0, getNumMappings() - 1].

◆ uniqueMappingsOnly() [1/2]

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.uniqueMappingsOnly ( bool  unique)

Allows to specify whether or not to store only unique atom/bond mappings.

A mapping of the query pattern to a substructure of the target molecular graph is considered to be unique if it differs from all previously found mappings by at least one atom or bond. If the unique argument is True, and a newly discovered mapping covers the same atoms and bonds of the target (including all permutations) as a mapping that was found earlier in the search process, it is considered as a duplicate and will be discarded.

Parameters
uniqueIf True, only unique mappings will be stored, and all found mappings otherwise.
Note
By default, duplicate mappings are not discarded.

◆ uniqueMappingsOnly() [2/2]

bool CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.uniqueMappingsOnly ( )

Tells whether duplicate atom/bond mappings are discarded.

Returns
True if duplicate mappings are discarded, and False otherwise.
See also
uniqueMappingsOnly(bool unique)

◆ getMaxNumMappings()

int CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.getMaxNumMappings ( )

Returns the specified limit on the number of stored atom/bond mappings.

Returns
The specified maximum number of stored atom/bond mappings.
See also
setMaxNumMappings(), findMappings()

◆ setMaxNumMappings()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.setMaxNumMappings ( int  max_num_mappings)

Allows to specify a limit on the number of stored atom/bond mappings.

In a call to findMappings() the substructure search will terminate as soon as the specified maximum number of stored atom/bond mappings has been reached. A previously set limit on the number of mappings can be disabled by providing zero for the value of max_num_mappings.

Parameters
max_num_mappingsThe maximum number of atom/bond mappings to store.
Note
By default, no limit is imposed on the number of stored mappings.

◆ clearAtomMappingConstraints()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.clearAtomMappingConstraints ( )

Clears all previously defined query to target atom mapping constraints.

See also
addAtomMappingConstraint()

◆ addAtomMappingConstraint()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.addAtomMappingConstraint ( int  query_atom_idx,
int  target_atom_idx 
)

Adds a constraint on the allowed mappings between query and target structure atoms.

By default, an atom of the query structure is free to match any suitable target structure atom. When this method gets called for a particular query/target atom pair (specified by query_atom_idx and target_atom_idx), future substructure searches will find only those subgraph mapping solutions (if any) where the given query atom maps to the specified target structure atom. Multiple calls to addAtomMappingConstraint() for the same query atom have an additive effect and allow to restrict the valid query atom mappings not only to a single but also a larger set of target structure atoms.

Parameters
query_atom_idxThe index of the query structure atom.
target_atom_idxThe index of the target structure atom that has to be matched by the query atom.

◆ clearBondMappingConstraints()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.clearBondMappingConstraints ( )

Clears all previously defined query to target bond mapping constraints.

See also
addBondMappingConstraint()

◆ addBondMappingConstraint()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.addBondMappingConstraint ( int  query_bond_idx,
int  target_bond_idx 
)

Adds a constraint on the allowed mappings between query and target structure bonds.

By default, a bond of the query structure is free to match any suitable target structure bond. When this method gets called for a particular query/target bond pair (specified by query_bond_idx and target_bond_idx), future substructure searches will find only those subgraph mapping solutions (if any) where the given query bond maps to the specified target structure bond. Multiple calls to addBondMappingConstraint() for the same query bond have an additive effect and allow to restrict the valid query bond mappings not only to a single but also a larger set of target structure bonds.

Parameters
query_bond_idxThe index of the query structure bond.
target_bond_idxThe index of the target structure bond that has to be matched by the query bond.

◆ setQuery()

None CDPL.Chem.SubstructureSearch.setQuery ( MolecularGraph  query)

Allows to specify a new query structure.

Parameters
queryA molecular graph that represents the query structure.
