This node implements the molecule fragmentation part of the Hussain and Rea algorithm (Ref 1) for finding Matched Molecular Pairs in a dataset, enabling the fragmented molecule key-value pairs to be stored in a database for later recall or used directly in a subsequent pair-finding node. The user can specify the number of cuts to be made (1 - 10), and whether Hydrogens should be added (1 cut only)
A variety of fragmentation options are included:
Guidelines for Custom (r)SMARTS Definition
An rSMARTS is no longer required, but may be specified if preferred for backwards compatibility. If specified must comply with the following rules. Otherwise, simply a match for two atoms separated by a single, acyclic bond must be provided
The algorithm is implemented using the RDKit toolkit
