chemlog 1.0.1

Peptide classifier for ChEBI / PubChem

ChemLog is a framework for rule-based ontology extension. This repository implements a classification of peptides on the ChEBI and PubChem datasets.

3 methods for classification are implemented:

1. Using Monadic Second-Order Logic (MSOL) formulas and the MSOL reasoner MONA
2. Using First-Order Logic (FOL) formulas and a custom FOL model checker
3. Using an algorithmic implementation

The classification covers the following aspects:

1. Number of amino acids (in MSOL / FOL: up to 10)
2. Charge category (either salt, anion, cation, zwitterion or neutral)
3. Proteinogenic amino acids present

If the corresponding flag is set, ChemLog will also return the ChEBI classes that match this classification. Currently supported are:

ChEBI ID	name
16670	peptide
60194	peptide cation
60334	peptide anion
60466	peptide zwitterion
25676	oligopeptide
46761	dipeptide
47923	tripeptide
48030	tetrapeptide
48545	pentapeptide
15841	polypeptide
90799	dipeptide zwitterion
155837	tripeptide zwitterion
64372	emericellamide
65061	2,5-diketopiperazines
24866	salt
25696	organic anion
25697	organic cation
27369	zwitterion

All implementations are based on the same natural language definitions and have been developed jointly. Therefore, it is expected that all methods yield the same result. If you make a different experience, please open an issue. If you are just interested in the results, we recommend using the algorithmic implementation, as it is the fastest one.

If you face problems using ChemLog or have other questions, feel free to open an issue.

Installation

Download the source code from this repository.

Install with

pip install .

If you want to use the MONA reasoner, you have to install it separately (the classifier expects the mona command to be available).

Run the classification

ChemLog provides a command line interface for the classification. Results are in JSON format for each run, alongside a log and a config file.

Command:

python -m chemlog classify

Apply the algorithmic implementation to ChEBI data.

Options:

-v, --chebi-version INTEGER  ChEBI version  [required]
-m, --molecules TEXT         List of ChEBI IDs to classify. Default: all
                             ChEBI classes.
-c, --return-chebi-classes   Return ChEBI classes
-n, --run-name TEXT          Results will be stored at
                             results/%y%m%d_%H%M_{run_name}/
-d, --debug-mode             Logs at debug level
-o, --additional-output      Returns intermediate steps in output, useful
                             for explainability and verification
-3, --only-3star             Only consider 3-star molecules
--help                       Show this message and exit.

Command:

python -m chemlog classify-pubchem

Apply the algorithmic implementation to PubChem data.

Options:

-f, --from-batch INTEGER    Start at this PubChem batch (each batch consists of 500,000 ids)
-t, --to-batch INTEGER      End at this PubChem batch (exclusive)
-c, --return-chebi-classes  Return assigned ChEBI classes
-m, --molecules TEXT        List of PubChem IDs to classify. Default: all
                            PubChem entries.
--help                      Show this message and exit.

Command:

python -m chemlog classify-fol

Apply the FOL implementation to PubChem data.

Options:

-v, --chebi-version INTEGER  ChEBI version  [required]
-m, --molecules TEXT         List of ChEBI IDs to classify. Default: all
                             ChEBI classes.
-c, --return-chebi-classes   Return ChEBI classes
-n, --run-name TEXT          Results will be stored at
                             results/%y%m%d_%H%M_{run_name}/
-d, --debug-mode             Logs at debug level
-o, --additional-output      Returns intermediate steps in output, useful
                             for explainability and verification
-3, --only-3star             Only consider 3-star molecules
--help                       Show this message and exit.

Command:

python -m chemlog classify-msol

Apply the MSOL implementation to PubChem data.

Options:

-v, --chebi-version INTEGER  ChEBI version  [required]
-m, --molecules TEXT         List of ChEBI IDs to classify. Default: all
                             ChEBI classes.
-n, --run-name TEXT          Results will be stored at

--help                       Show this message and exit.

Command:

python -m chemlog verify

-m, --molecules TEXT         List of ChEBI IDs to verify. Default: all ChEBI
                             classes.
