| MDL Notes |
NOTE: The system requirements for MDL Products can be found at www.mdl.com.
NOTE: TIBCO Spotfire supports MDL Molecules databases. TIBCO Spotfire does not support Reaction databases.
NOTE: Occasionally customers have difficulty connecting DecisionSite for Lead Discovery to complex Hviews. For example, Hviews containing multiple levels of nesting and concatenated databases may be difficult to align with the data model in DecisionSite. Such issues have typically been resolved by using Hviews with a simplified structure, e.g., Compound ID and structure only.
NOTE: The functionality of DecisionSite for Lead Discovery will to some extent depend on the MDL software configuration, as in the following examples:
- Similarity search is not available for local ISIS databases
- Key-based clustering is supported for the 166 structure key set when stored in ISIS as comma separated numbers
