Preferred Name	Small molecules
Definitions	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. Small molecules of biological significance, typically archival, curation, processing and analysis of structural information.
Synonyms	Amino acids Drug structures Peptides and amino acids Target structures Drugs and target structures Metabolite structures Drug targets Chemical structures Toxins and targets Peptides Targets Toxins CHEBI:23367 See more See less
