Finding Isomers and Duplicate Structures Using Uninformative Chemotypic Identifiers
This tutorial introduces the Meqi II programming template and the viewing and subtable operations in showing how Meqi can be used to find duplicate structures as well as isomers within a single structural file, to find duplicate structures coming from different structural files, and to find duplicate structures in different proprietary libraries without sharing any structural information.
