Abstract
A recursive relational data base structure, called the two
path structure, is proposed for holding data about the properties
and structure of molecules. The two-path data base approach solves
certain severe restriction problems by providing two pathways to the
structure of complex chemical entities. One pathway permits a fast
descent to the atomic structure in terms of correct IUPAC carbon atom
occurrence numbers. The other pathway descends through the molecular
substructures, which can be referenced at any level in retrievals. The
data base appears to be capable of faithfully recording the structure
of all chemical entities, including proteins and enzymes.
