Query parameters

returningstringOptional

Comma-separated list of fields to return. Modifies the output shape. To return all keys at a given level, enumerate them or use the wildcard, ’*’. For more information, click here.

Request

This endpoint expects an object.

colorstring or nullOptional

The hex color code of the monomer visual symbol

customMolecularWeightdouble or nullOptional

Optional molecular weight value that the user can provide to override the calculated molecular weight

namestringOptional

Name of the monomer

naturalAnalogstringOptional

Symbol for the natural equivalent of the monomer. Acceptable natural analog values include IUPAC bases, r, and p.

smilesstringOptional

The chemical structure in SMILES format.

symbolstringOptional

User-defined identifier of the monomer, unique on the monomer type.

visualSymbolenumOptional

The shape of the monomer visual symbol.

Response

Created

archiveRecordobject or nullOptional

attachmentPointslist of stringsOptional

A list of the capping group present at each location where the monomer can form a bond with other monomers

calculatedMolecularWeightdoubleOptional

The molecular weight of the monomer as calculated by RDKit based on the monomer chemical structure

canonicalSmilesstringOptional

The canonicalized chemical structure in SMILES format.

createdAtdatetimeOptionalRead-only

DateTime the monomer was created.

customMolecularWeightdouble or nullOptional
