•A Thor chemical database, usually thought of as a single
entity, is made up of as many as
four databases, to store datatypes, indirect references, monomer definitions and chemical information.
–datatypes
•The datatypes-definitions
database contains the definitions of
all datatypes. Datatypes
are frequently common to all databases at a particular site (i.e. all regular databases refer to the same datatypes database);
this makes the data from
all databases intercompatible.
–indirect data
•The optional indirect-data
database contains the expansions for
indirect data. Like datatypes
databases, indirect-data database are often shared by several related regular databases.
–monomers
•The optional monomer-definition database contains monomer
definitions for combinatorial-library (mixture) databases that use the
CHUCKLES and CHORTLES languages.
–chemical data
•The regular, or chemical-information
database, contains data about chemicals.
