|
|
|
1) heuristic restrictions for number of elements |
not used (smart H option instead) |
|
2) perform LEWIS and SENIOR check |
can remove 420 candidates |
|
3) isotopic pattern filter at 5% error |
can remove 668 candidates |
|
isotopic pattern filter at 10% error |
can remove 632 candidates |
|
isotopic pattern filter at 20% error |
can remove 462 candidates |
|
4) H/C ratio check (hydrogen/carbon ratio) |
can remove 56 candidates |
|
5) NOPS ratio check (N, O, P, S/C ratios) |
can remove 51 candidates |
|
6) heuristic HNOPS probability check |
can remove 180 candidates |
|
7) TMS check |
