SYBYL Line Notation
SYBYL Line Notation (SLN) is a chemical line notation. Based on SMILES, it incorporates a complete syntax for specifying relative stereochemistry. SLN has a rich query syntax that allows for the specification of Markush queries. The syntax also supports the specification of combinatorial libraries of CD.
Example SLNs
| Description | SLN String |
|---|---|
| Benzene | CH:CH:CH:CH:CH:CH:@1 |
| Alanine | NH2CH(CH3)C(=O)OH |
| Query showing R sidechain | R1C:C:C:C:C:C:@1 |
| Query for amide/sulfamide | NHC=M1{M1:O,S} |

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“The middle years of parenthood are characterized by ambiguity. Our kids are no longer helpless, but neither are they independent. We are still active parents but we have more time now to concentrate on our personal needs. Our children’s world has expanded. It is not enclosed within a kind of magic dotted line drawn by us. Although we are still the most important adults in their lives, we are no longer the only significant adults.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
