Properties

Name Type Description
archiveRecord object
attachmentPoints array A list of the capping group present at each location where the monomer can form a bond with other monomers
calculatedMolecularWeight number The molecular weight of the monomer as calculated by RDKit based on the monomer chemical structure
canonicalSmiles string The canonicalized chemical structure in SMILES format.
createdAt string DateTime the monomer was created.
customMolecularWeight number Optional molecular weight value that the user can provide to override the calculated molecular weight
