For exact and substructure type searches, the match type can be also set. The match of your choice can be selected by using the corresponding checkboxes.

• 2D match

  The search for structures is initiated disregarding the stereochemistry (tetrahedral stereo, double bond stereo, etc.) of the query and target structures. E.g. when searching for (S)-enantiomer and checking the 2D search option, in an exact type search, the result will return also the plain structure beside the (R)-enantiomer ( Figure S4 ).

Currently the matches involving CSTs (although are considered 2D matches during submission or amendment), are displayed as 'Exact' match types on the Search page because no chemical stereo information is disregarded. Therefore those hits are being returned ( Figure S5 ) also after an Exact search (when the 2D Search option is not selected).

• Tautomer match

  The search is performed by a JChem tautomer search, which includes lactim-lactam, keto-enol, imine-amine, and other common proton-shift tautomerism cases.
  In the following example, a substructure search with keto-enol tautomer match is performed (Figure S6).
