Markush Enumeration in JChem for Excel

    A Markush structure is a description of a compound class by generic notations, primarily used in patent claims and the description of combinatorial libraries. The library of a Markush structure is the total set of specific molecules that are described by the Markush structure.

    The Markush enumeration plugin can be used to generate a whole or a subset of the library of a generic Markush structure. It is also capable of calculating the total number of specific structures present in a Markush library.

    For more information regarding this plugin, see Markush Enumerator Plugin.

    JCMarkushEnumerationCount

    Returns the number of Markush enumerations.

    JCMarkushMatch

    Returns TRUE if the query (Markush) structure matches the target as a substructure, and FALSE if it does not. A full structure search is not implemented in this function.
