SMARTS (language)
From LIMSWiki
SMARTS or the SMiles ARbitrary Target Specification is a line notation "language" used by chemical information systems to represent a molecule and to communicate its structure from one place to another. The SMARTS line notation is expressive and allows extremely precise and transparent substructural specification and atom typing.[1]
SMARTS is related to the SMILES line notation that is used to encode molecular structures, and like SMILES it was originally developed by David Weininger and colleagues at Daylight Chemical Information Systems.[2]
OpenEye Scientific Software has developed their own version of SMARTS which differs from the original Daylight version in how the R descriptor is defined.[3]
