∟SDF (Structure Data File)
∟What Are CTfile and CTAB
This section provides a quick introduction of the SDF (Structure Data File) format. An example of SDF file is also provided.
What CTfile (Chemical Table File)? -
CTfile refers to six file formats that are used to
store chemical information in a table style.
All CTfile formats shares a common structure called CTAB (Connection Table),
which describes the structural relationships and
properties of a collection of atoms.
Below are short descriptions of CTfile formats:
- Molfile (Molecule File) - Describes a single molecular structure which can
contain disjoint fragments.
A Molfile is a 3-line header and CTAB structure.
- RGfile (Rgroup File) - Describes a single molecular query with Rgroups
(Relationship Groups). Each RGfile is a combination of CTABs defining the
root molecule and each
member of each Rgroup in the query.
- rxnfile (Reaction File) - Contains the structural information for
the reactants and products of a single reaction.
- SDfile (SDF - Structure Data File) - Contains structures and data for any
number of molecules.
A SDfile uses a Molfile and custom data to form a molecule structure.
And multiple molecule structures are concatenated to support multiple molecules.
- RDfile (RDF - Reaction Data File) - Contains reactions as well as molecules,
together with their associated data.
- XDfile (XML Data File) - XML-based data format for transferring recordsets
of structure or reaction information with associated data.
CTfile formats have 2 versions: V3000 and V2000.
