Individual SEarch FOr Similar Structures
A program to find similar
structures
by T. Kolber, and H. Lohninger
ISEFOSS is a Windows 95/Windows NT based program to search for similar structures in a chemical structure database. It is primarily designed for QSPR (quantitative structure property relationship) purposes. The similarity search is based on structural descriptors which are generated online during the search. The results of the similarity search can be controlled by selecting proper structural descriptors.
Features of ISEFOSS
- Easy-to-handle user interface: at any time ISEFOSS indicates its status by means of a flow-diagram of the search process.
