A molfile is a table containing atom type,
connectivity and a more or
less arbitrary
2D or
3D information about a molecule. Well-known
file formats include the MOLfile used by MDL Information Systems
Inc. (
e.g., in the database MACCS), the MOL2 file used by Tripos
Associates (
e.g., in the modeling package SYBYL), or the CSSR
format.
