Chemical Reactions File Reader

Use this node to read chemical reactions stored on your hard drive. Different file formats are supported. These include, but are not limited to, Chemical Markup Language (CML) files; a number of Symyx (former MDL) formats - rxn, rdf; SMILES/SMIRKS; etc. See http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/help/formats/formats.html for an extensive list.

Options

Select file(s)

Use the Add and Remove buttons to add to the list of files to process. Changing the list will automatically tigger a scan in either shallow or deep mode.

Scan Depth

Shallow scan is the first 10 records of each file, whilst a deep scan will scan each file completely for properties.

Properties to keep

All reaction properties found in the first 10 records of the input file are presented in the left-hand side list. Use the provided controls to select the properties you are interested in. These will be read and stored in the output of the node. Note that all properties are treated as strings - in the likely case that some or all of the properties are numeric you may use the "String To Number" node. The "String To Number" node is part of the default KNIME installation and may be found under the category "Data Manipulation | Column".

Output options -> General -> Aromatize molecules

Select this option if you want the chemical structures which constitute the reaction to be aromatized using the default Chemaxon algorithm. Reccomended.

Output options -> Additional columns

In addition to the "native" Chemaxon RxnMolecule object a number of columns containing different text-based representations of the read reactions can be created as well. These are useful when an interaction with another chemoinformatics package is needed. For example, to use this reader with the CDK library (since it supports much more file formats) you can output an RDF column which can than be processed by CDK.
