Class UnambiguousExactBioactiveEntityComparator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparator<BioactiveEntity>

    public class UnambiguousExactBioactiveEntityComparator
    extends BioactiveEntityComparator
    unambiguous Exact bioactive entity comparator. It will first use UnambiguousExactInteractorBaseComparator to compare the basic interactor properties. If the basic interactor properties are the same, It will look first for CHEBI identifier (the interactor with a non null CHEBI identifier will always come first). If the CHEBI identifiers are not set, it will look at the standard inchi key (the interactor with a non null standard inchi key will always come first). If the standard inchi keys are identical, it will look at the smile (the interactor with a non null smile will always come first). If the smiles are identical, it will look at the standard Inchi (the interactor with a non null standard inchi will always come first). This comparator will ignore all the other properties of an interactor.
