CCL: Tool or Software Module to retrieve unique molecules



Hello:
Molgrep, which is part of perlmol is quite successful at doing that given a SMARTS pattern, which could be your specific molecule. We currently work with that with pretty good results.
Here is a link to it.

Hi Manoj,

How about having a unique SMILES representation (OpenBabel etc) of your compounds and using the shell command:

       sort -u mysmiles.smi

or

       uniq mysmiles.smi


Have fun,

       Matthias
