In [[chemistry]], '''structural analogs''' ('''structural analogues'''), also known as '''chemical analogs''' or simply '''analogs''', are [[chemical compound|compounds]] in which one or more [[atoms]], [[functional group]]s, or substructures have been replaced with different atoms, groups, or substructures. Despite a high chemical similarity, structural analogs are not necessarily [[functional analog]] and can have very different physical, chemical, biochemical, or pharmacological properties.
