Database

The submodule contain several class for providing an interface to a sql database for managing COSKF files and physical properties.

class pyCRS.Database.COSKFDatabase(path)

A class provide an interface to a sql database containing the following tables.

Table name

Description

Compound

contains unique compounds along with their COSKF file based on either CAS number or any prefered identifier

Conformer

contains mutiple conformers along with their COSKF file

PhysicalProperty

contains the physical properties input by user

PropPred

contains the estimated physical properties using QSPR methods based on SMILES
Parameters

path (str) – a path to the database file. If this file does not exist, it will be created.

add_compound(coskf_file, name=None, cas=None, identifier=None, coskf_path=None, smiles=None, nring=None, ignore_smiles_check=False, ignore_duplicates=False)

Adds a new .coskf file to the database.

Parameters

coskf_file (str) – a path to the .coskf file, or alternatively, the file name of the .coskf file if the coskf_path is provided.

Keyword Arguments

  • name (str) – The entry’s name, such as the compound name. If not provided, it will prioritize using the IUPAC name, CAS number, identifier, or the name of the .coskf file if such value is provided through the add_compound() method or stored in the ‘Compound Data’ section in the .coskf file.

  • cas (str) – The CAS number of the molecule. If not provided, it will attempt to use the CAS within the .coskf file if available.

  • identifier (str) – The chemical identifier of the molecule.

  • coskf_path (str) – The directory path to the coskf file. If not provided, it will attempt to locate the path of ADFCRS-2018 database.

  • smiles (str) – The SMILES string of the molecule. If not provided, it will attempt to use the SMILES within the .coskf file if available

  • nring (int) – The numbr of ring atoms. If not provided, it will attempt to use the Nring within the .coskf file if available

  • ignore_smiles_check (bool) – If set to True, skip generating the SMILES from compound’s coordinates to confirm its identity against the database. Default is False.

  • ignore_duplicates (bool) – If set to True, skip duplicate recognition using UniqueConformersCrest in AMSConformer tool. Default is False.

Note

Ensure every compound has a unique representation, either by CAS number or a preferred identifier. During the add_compound process, both the CAS number and identifier are checked for uniqueness in the database. If multiple compounds share the same CAS number and identifier, an ERROR will be raised. For instance, the below operation is not allowed since both compound shared the same identifier=’CRS0001’

db.add_compound("Benzene.coskf",cas="71-43-2",identifier="CRS0001")
db.add_compound("Ethanol.coskf",cas="64-17-5",identifier="CRS0001")
add_physical_property(identifier, attribute, value, unit=None)

Parameters

  • identifier (str) – the string representing either CAS, identifier or name of a compound

  • attribute (str) – the name of the physical property (eg. meltingpoint or hfusion)

  • value (float) – the value of the physical property

Keyword Arguments

unit (str) – (optional) the unit of the input value. The default unit is K and kcal/mol. The accepted unit now has K, C, kcal/mol, kJ/mol, cal/g, J/g

Example

db.add_physical_property(‘Benzene’,’meltingpoint’,278.7) db.add_physical_property(‘Benzene’,’hfusion’,9.91,unit=’kJ/mol’)

del_row(dbrow: pyCRS.Database.CompoundRow.CompoundRow)

Remove a compound from the database and delete the corresponding .coskf file.

Parameters

dbrow (CompoundRow) – the row to remove from the database

del_row_by_conformer_id(conformer_id)

Remove the conformer from the database.

Parameters

conformer_id (int) – A integer of intergers representing the conformer in the CONFORMER TABLE.

Example

db.del_row_by_conformer_id(1)

del_rows(dbrows)

Remove multiple compounds from the database and delete the corresponding .coskf files.

dbrows (list) – the rows to remove from the database, represented as a list of CompoundRow objects

Example

db.del_rows(db.get_compounds(‘benzene’))

estimate_physical_property(identifier=None, compound_id=None)

Estimate the physical properties using the property prediction tool and add the values to the PropPred TABLE in the database

Keyword Arguments

  • identifier (str or list) – a string or a list of string representing either CAS, identifier or name of a compound

  • compound_id (int or list) – an integer or a list representing the compound ID(s).

Note

The QSPR descriptor used in the property prediction tool is determined from the SMILES string. It first attempts to use the SMILES string provided by user via the add_compound method or modify_attribute_by_compound_id method. If unavailable, it will used the SMILES generating by OpenBabel using the compound’s coordinates in the COSKF file. Please note that the resolved SMILES may be incorrect for some molecules, for instance when bond orders cannot be automatically determined and species with charges.
