Class MMElementRule

java.lang.Object

org.openscience.cdk.formula.rules.MMElementRule

All Implemented Interfaces:

IRule

public class MMElementRule
extends Object
implements IRule

This class validate if the occurrence of the IElements in the IMolecularFormula, for metabolites, are into a maximal limit according paper: . The study is from 2 different mass spectral databases and according different mass of the metabolites. The analysis don't take account if the IElement is not contained in the matrix. It will be jumped.

The rules is based from Tobias Kind paper with the title "Seven Golden Rules for heuristic filtering of molecular formula" [Kind, Tobias and Fiehn, Oliver. BMC Bioinformatics. 2007. 8].
