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:
“In order to get to East Russet you take the Vermont Central as far as Twitchell’s Falls and change there for Torpid River Junction, where a spur line takes you right into Gormley. At Gormley you are met by a buckboard which takes you back to Torpid River Junction again.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
