SDL Component Suite - CStruct

A central problem of any chemist who deals with chemical structures in conjunction with his own proprietary programs is the management of these structures. Usually the structures are stored in form of connection tables which describe the atoms and the bonds of the structure. The connection table is then the basis for calculations around chemical structures, for displaying them, or for storing the structures in a data base.

The unit CSTRUCT supplies the user with the most important routines for handling chemical structures. CSTRUCT implements a connection table and provides many methods to manipulate the chemical structures:


  • adding and deleting atoms
  • calculation of the molecular formula (see CFORM)
  • comparison of chemical structures
  • recognition of rings
  • fragmentation of structures
  • import and export to MDL MOL and SD format
  • substructure search
Please note that CSTRUCT cannot display chemical structures (for displaying structures, see CHEMGRPH). More details can be found in the online help pages.

The unit CSTRUCT is part of the SDL Component Suite.
