Is there any standardised way of indexing atoms #6714
-
Hello All! I was following the RDKit Cookbook and tried to draw Caffeine using the given code: This is the result from that. The code I use is this:
Then I was reading this paper: Now they index their atoms differently here in this paper: https://www.cell.com/structure/pdfExtended/S0969-2126(17)30192-2 Now, my question is there any standard practise when indexing atoms and what could be the possible code for indexing atoms the 'right' way. |

To my knowledge, unless you are (1) explicitly talking about using IUPAC rules for indexing and naming or (2) using something like the the RCSB/PDB monomer library for things like creating structure submissions, there is no conventional way to index atoms. REFS: |
