*** Update 20151119 - using KNIME 3 and RDKit version of PAINS queries ***

*** This version contains Parallel processing nodes to take advantage of mutil-core processors ***

Implementation of the PAINS filters[1] using the RDKit (3.0.0.201511131320) nodes in KNIME (3.0.1). Original PAINS filters were published in SLN format. This workflow contains the SMARTS form of the filters published by Greg Landrum as part of the RDKit library[2], which are based on the original conversion by the Guha group[3]. Also distributed with a 10k reference structure set from WEHI[1] which is used by default as the input if no other file is chosen.

The updated PAINS filters now remove 753 structures, which includes 2 false positives, from the reference set. The original SLN filters remove 861.

This workflow continues to use only those nodes that were available at the time in 2010. For a more compact workflow by Evert Homan using more recently available RDKit nodes, see http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows/4748.html

The RDKit nodes require installation of the 'community nodes' in KNIME. See https://tech.knime.org/community

Based on simple sub-structure workflow by James Davidson

Modified to use SD/SMILES file as input, or manual SMILES entry, or database search.
