Definitions

Small molecules of biological significance, typically archival, curation, processing and analysis of structural information. Small molecules include organic molecules, metal-organic compounds, small polypeptides, small polysaccharides and oligonucleotides. Structural data is usually included. This concept excludes macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. This includes the structures of drugs, drug target, their interactions and binding affinities. Also the structures of reactants or products of metabolism, for example small molecules such as including vitamins, polyols, nucleotides and amino acids. Also the physicochemical, biochemical or structural properties of amino acids or peptides. Also structural and associated data for toxic chemical substances.
