  • Publication number: 20210265024
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-implemented system and method for generating and searching a database containing all of the potential substructures (e.g., metabolites) of a chosen complex molecule based on minimum cleavable units (MCUs) of the chosen complex molecule, wherein each record in the generated database suitably defines the molecular weight and physical arrangement of each substructure. Embodiments of the invention also provide a user interface and a search engine for searching the database based on a query molecular weight (or query molecular weight range) to identify all of the substructures having a total molecular weight matching the query molecular weight or range. Embodiments of the invention are also capable of transmitting to a display device operated by an end user a description and/or a graphical representation of every identified substructure of the chosen complex molecule.
