SMILES

Assalamualiakum :)

Today we want to talk about SMILES but not this smile

SMILES here means the simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) which is a specification in form of a line notation for describing the structure of chemical species using short ASCII strings. SMILES strings can be imported by most molecule editors for conversion back into two-dimensional drawings or three-dimensional models of the molecule.

There are two types of SMILES which are Canonical SMILES and Isomeric SMILES. Canonical SMILES includes rules for ensuring that each distinct chemical molecule has a single unique SMILES representation while Isomeric SMILES includes extensions to support the specification of isotopes chirality and configuration about double bond.

Here are some examples of SMILES
