Parents

• is_a: ChemicalEntity - A chemical entity is a physical entity that pertains to chemistry or biochemistry.

Children

• NucleicAcidEntity - A nucleic acid entity is a molecular entity characterized by availability in gene databases of nucleotide-based sequence representations of its precise sequence; for convenience of representation, partial sequences of various kinds are included.
• SmallMolecule - A small molecule entity is a molecular entity characterized by availability in small-molecule databases of SMILES, InChI, IUPAC, or other unambiguous representation of its precise chemical structure; for convenience of representation, any valid chemical representation is included, even if it is not strictly molecular (e.g., sodium ion).

Attributes

Own

• is metabolite _0..1
  • Description: indicates whether a molecular entity is a metabolite
  • Range: Boolean

Inherited from chemical entity:

• trade name _0..1
  • Range: ChemicalEntity
• available from _0..*
  • Range: DrugAvailabilityEnum
• max tolerated dose _0..1
  • Description: The highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects. The maximum tolerated dose is determined in clinical trials by testing increasing doses on different groups of people until the highest dose with acceptable side effects is found. Also called MTD.
  • Range: String
• is toxic _0..1
  • Range: Boolean
• has chemical role _0..*
  • Description: A role is particular behaviour which a chemical entity may exhibit.
  • Range: ChemicalRole

Inherited from entity:

• id _1..1
  • Description: A unique identifier for an entity. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI
  • Range: String
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• iri _0..1
  • Description: An IRI for an entity. This is determined by the id using expansion rules.
  • Range: IriType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal,samples)
• category _0..*
  • Description: Name of the high level ontology class in which this entity is categorized. Corresponds to the label for the biolink entity type class.
• In a neo4j database this MAY correspond to the neo4j label tag.
• In an RDF database it should be a biolink model class URI. This field is multi-valued. It should include values for ancestors of the biolink class; for example, a protein such as Shh would have category values biolink:Protein, biolink:GeneProduct, biolink:MolecularEntity, … In an RDF database, nodes will typically have an rdf:type triples. This can be to the most specific biolink class, or potentially to a class more specific than something in biolink. For example, a sequence feature f may have a rdf:type assertion to a SO class such as TF_binding_site, which is more specific than anything in biolink. Here we would have categories {biolink:GenomicEntity, biolink:MolecularEntity, biolink:NamedThing}
  • Range: CategoryType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• type _0..*
  • Range: String
• description _0..1
  • Description: a human-readable description of an entity
  • Range: NarrativeText
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• has attribute _0..*
  • Description: connects any entity to an attribute
  • Range: Attribute
  • in subsets: (samples)

Inherited from gene product mixin:

• xref _0..*
  • Description: A database cross reference or alternative identifier for a NamedThing or edge between two NamedThings. This property should point to a database record or webpage that supports the existence of the edge, or gives more detail about the edge. This property can be used on a node or edge to provide multiple URIs or CURIE cross references.
  • Range: Uriorcurie
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)

Inherited from macromolecular machine mixin:

• name _0..1
  • Description: A human-readable name for an attribute or entity.
  • Range: LabelType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal,samples)

Inherited from named thing:

• provided by _0..*
  • Description: The value in this node property represents the knowledge provider that created or assembled the node and all of its attributes. Used internally to represent how a particular node made its way into a knowledge provider or graph.
  • Range: String
• category _0..*
  • Description: Name of the high level ontology class in which this entity is categorized. Corresponds to the label for the biolink entity type class.
• In a neo4j database this MAY correspond to the neo4j label tag.
