STRUCTURE command

The first major graphics application for an ACS publication automated the input and composition of structures in CA. Later, this structure input method was modified and added to the Messenger software for use in STN International as the basis for the STRUCTURE command that builds queries for substructure searching. After a search, structure images can be displayed on certain graphics terminals. Chemical structures are also produced by Messenger batch software on STN International off-line prints. 

Modifiable structures (a structure built in STN Express can be modified using the STRUCTURE command). Query refinement (the user can build queries that were not possible with structure drawing alone). 

With atom-by-atom and bond-by-bond searches all candidates of a screen search are compared to the entered structure. The result consists of those compounds corresponding exactly to the structure commands. 

The command DISPLAY (DIS) may be used subsequently to any other command within the STRUCTURE commands, in order to view and check the entered structure query. You can add different attributes, the most important of which are listed in Table 11. DISPLAY command used separately shows only the structure. 

Structure search answers can be retrieved by DISPLAY. Be careful not to mix up this command with the command used within the STRUCTURE command in order to display the entered structure (Sect. 7.1). HELP DFIELDS shows all download formats available. Format IDE is the default format. Format SCAN enables you to check the search result without being charged document fees. The results are shown in arbitrary order (Fig. 115). 

Polymers are subdivided into principle classes by the composition of their repeating chain segment acyclic carbon polymers, carbocyclic polymers, acyclic heteroatom polymers, heterocyclic polymers, and copolymers. All entries are placed in the most senior class their structure commands (109,110) and appear in only one class. The subclasses and their entries are organized in alphabetical order. 

This tutorial, which is based on the Beilstein update BS0202PR (May, 2002) and on the retrieval program Cro.ssFire Commander V6,. shows. some typical advanced search examples in the Beilstein database. It is assumed that the user already knows some of the basic features of the retrieval program. Moreover, in this tutorial the CrossFire Structure Editor is used instead of the (SIS/Draw Structure Editor. The first example is a combined application of structure aiM fact retrieval, whereas the second example demonstrates reaction retrieval. 

After return to the Commander window, the reaction retrieval may be executed separately 629 Dicls-Aldcr reactions between aliphatic dienes and cyclic dicno-pliiles are found. This partial result can be narrowed down by restricting tlie reaction conditions by means of the fact editor, The search field codes for the yield and the temperature can be found to be RX.NYD and RX.T, respectively, either by browsing the database structure or by applying the Find option, as described in the first example. To ensure that the retrieved reaction conditions belong to the same experiment, both search terms must be connected by means of the PROXIMITY operator. Before the retrieval is started, the option "Refine results in... 

MacroModel (we tested Version 6.5) is a powerful molecular mechanics program. The program can be run from either its graphic interface or an ASCII command file. The command file structure allows very complex simulations to be performed. The XCluster utility permits the analysis and filtering of a large number of structures, such as Monte Carlo or dynamics trajectories. The documentation is very thorough. 

The command mksys packs the plant state-space matrices ag, bg, eg and dg into a tree structure ss g.

We will use Mathematica throughout the text. Most of what is necessary to know will be introduced at the time it is needed. Nonetheless, there is some motivation to begin with some very basic commands and structures so that the process is smooth. Therefore, this is the goal of this section—to make your introduction to Mathematica go smoothly. For more information of this type there are many texts that cover Mathematicam detail. 

Or we can look at all of the structures in groups of three at a time by utilizing the Graphics Array command ... 

Although more than 700 different amino acids are known to occur naturally, a group of 20 of them commands special attention. These 20 are the anino acids that are normally present in proteins and are listed in Table 27.1. All the amino acids from which proteins are derived are a-anino acids, and all but one of these contain a primary anino function and conform to the general structure... 

The first job step computes the energies of the three lowest excited states. The second job step uses its results to begin the optimization by including the Read option to the CIS keyword, Geom=Check, and Guess=Read (and of course the commands to name and save the checkpoint file). The Freq keyword computes the frequencies at the optimized structure.

As already stated above, the database has been developed using ISIS software. The program operation is very simple, and about 30 min to learn the particular commands of this structure-searching program. ISIS provides both storage and retrieval of chemical structures. It is also possible to store text and numeric data into database entries. Because molecular structures are searchable in many ways, ISIS software is an excellent tool for exploiting data, and not simply archiving it. 

To address these issues regarding adequate structural searching in CHIRBASE, some facilities have been recently added to the user interface. The result is the automatic generation and search of strategic 2D query structures defined with the help of the following commands (Fig. 4-5) ... 

The procedure for building a structure can be long and complex, if the structure is large and complex, but the commands are simple. We will illustrate by building the structure for 3-ethylpiperidine, which uses the most important commands. We begin with the command STRUCTURE. The system will ask if we wish to build on a structure previously used. If we say no, we will then get the prompt... 

As shown by the first prompt there are four types of search, of which we will discuss two exact and substructure (SSS). In an exact search, only information regarding exactly the stracture given will be retrieved, but even so there may well be several answers, because CA treats stereoisomers and isotopically substituted compounds as separate answers. At the conclusion of the search the system gives the number of answers, (e.g., 4). We may now look at the four answers by using the display command. As in the CA File, there is a choice of display formats, but if we choose SUB we will get (1) the Registry Number, (2) the approved CA index name, (3) other names that have appeared in CA for that compound, (4) a structural formula, and (5) the number of CA references since 1967, along with a notation as to... 

As mentioned above, building structures can be very complicated, and, because there is great flexibility in the system, there are a great many ways to use the commands, but the rewards are the retrieval of information that cannot be obtained in any other way. We have given here only a hint of the possibilities in using this system. 

Now we know what curved arrows are, but how do we know when to push them and where to push them First, we need to learn where we cannot push arrows. There are two important rules that you should never violate when pushing arrows. They are the two commandments of drawing resonance structures ... 

From now on, we will refer to the second commandment as the octet rule. But be careful—for purposes of drawing resonance structures, it is only a violation if we exceed an octet for a second-row element. However, there is no problem at all with a second-row element having fewer than an octet of electrons. For example ... 

In this example, we can see that one of the lone pairs on oxygen is coming down to form a bond, and the C=C double bond is being pushed to form a lone pair on a carbon atom. When both arrows are pushed at the same time, we are not violating either of the two commandments. So, let s focus on how to draw the resonance structure. Since we know what arrows mean, it is easy to follow the arrows. We just get rid of one lone pair on oxygen, place a double bond between carbon and oxygen, get rid of the carbon-carbon double bond, and place a lone pair on carbon ... 

Now we have all the tools we need. We know why we need resonance structures and what they represent. We know what curved arrows represent. We know how to recognize bad arrows that violate the two commandments. We know how to draw arrows that get you from one structure to another, and we know how to draw formal charges. We are now ready for the final challenge using curved arrows to draw resonance structures. 

Neither of these structures violates the two commandments, so both structures above are valid resonance structures. (However, the bottom structure, although valid, is not a significant resonance structure. In the next section, we will see how to determine which resonance structures are significant and which are not.)... 

PROBLEM 2.30 For the following compound, go through all three steps (making sure not to violate the two commandments) and draw the resonance structures.
