NAME

PerlMol - Perl modules for molecular chemistry

SYNOPSIS

    # This is a bundle containing all of the modules
    # of the PerlMol Project and their dependencies.
    # This is not a real module; it is the main index
    # to the documentation of the PerlMol modules.

DESCRIPTION

PerlMol is a collection of Perl modules for chemoinformatics and computational chemistry with the philosophy that "simple things should be simple". It should be possible to write one-liners that use this toolkit to do meaningful "molecular munging". The PerlMol toolkit provides objects and methods for representing molecules, atoms, and bonds in Perl; doing substructure matching; and reading and writing files in various formats.

DOCUMENTATION

What follows is an index of the relevant documentation.

Tutorial

Chemistry::Tutorial - A good place to start reading the documentation.

Object oriented modules

The following modules are indented according to the class hierarchy:

Chemistry::Obj
Chemistry::Mol
Chemistry::Pattern
Chemistry::FormulaPattern
Chemistry::MidasPattern
Chemistry::Domain
Chemistry::MacroMol
Chemistry::Ring
Chemistry::Atom
Chemistry::Pattern::Atom
Chemistry::Bond
Chemistry::Pattern::Bond
Chemistry::File
Chemistry::File::Formula
Chemistry::File::FormulaPattern
Chemistry::File::MDLMol
Chemistry::File::MidasPattern
Chemistry::File::Mopac
Chemistry::File::PDB
Chemistry::File::SDF
Chemistry::File::SLN
Chemistry::File::SMARTS
Chemistry::File::SMILES
Chemistry::File::VRML
Chemistry::File::XYZ
Chemistry::InternalCoords
Chemistry::Mok

Procedural modules

These are auxiliary modules for which object classes seemed overkill

Chemistry::3DBuilder
Chemistry::Bond::Find
Chemistry::InternalCoords::Builder
Chemistry::Ring::Find
Chemistry::Canonicalize

Programs (scripts)

mok - an AWK for molecules

EXAMPLES

The "examples" directory in the PerlMol distribution file has several sample scripts with lots of comments and a few input and output files that show how one can use PerlMol for common tasks. They can also be browsed online at http://www.perlmol.org/examples/. Some of the examples are:

    * combinatorial_enumeration
    * file_conversion
    * molgrep
    * pdb_viewer
    * peptide_builder
    * polar_surface_area
