Abstract
The Ertl algorithm for automated functional groups (FG) detection and extraction of organic molecules is implemented on the basis of the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK). A distinct impact of the chosen CDK aromaticity model is demonstrated by an FG analysis of the ChEMBL database compounds. The average performance of less than a millisecond for a single-molecule FG extraction allows for fast processing of even large compound databases.
