BRICS
A molecule fragmentation method based on retrosynthetic rules that defines chemically reasonable bond-breaking patterns to produce synthetic building-block fragments with well-defined chemical semantics.
Timeline (last 90 days)
BRICS (Breaking of Retrosynthetically Interesting Chemical Substructures) is a molecular fragmentation method based on retrosynthetic rules, proposed by Degen et al. in 2008.
The study uses BRICS decomposition to break molecules into fragments, with each fragment serving as a graph node whose features are the element-wise sum of the features of its constituent atoms.
The limitations of fragment-level representation include that BRICS decomposition rules may not apply to all molecule types, and some fragments may be too large or too small, affecting the fineness of explanations.
