MetChem: Chemical Structural Similarity Analysis

A new pipeline to explore chemical structural similarity across metabolites. It allows the metabolite classification in structurally-related modules and identifies common shared functional groups. The KODAMA algorithm is used to highlight structural similarity between metabolites. See Cacciatore S, Tenori L, Luchinat C, Bennett PR, MacIntyre DA.
