Chemical & Biomolecular Formats
Mathematica can import—and often export—standard formats used in chemistry, molecular biology and bioinformatics, routinely handling a full range of molecular types, as well as genome-sized datasets.
Chemical Formats
"XYZ" XYZ molecule geometry file (.xyz)
"MOL" MDL MOL format (.mol)
"MOL2" Tripos MOL2 format (.mol2)
"SDF" MDL SDF format (.sdf)
"SMILES" SMILES chemical format (.smi)
Bioinformatics Formats
"GenBank" NCBI GenBank sequence format (.gb, .gbk)
"FASTA" bioinformatics sequence format (.fasta, .fa, .fsa, .mpfa)
"NEXUS" NEXUS phylogenetic data format (.nex, .ndk)
Molecular Biology Formats
"PDB" Protein Data Bank format (.pdb)
"MMCIF" MMCIF 3D molecular model format (.cif)
    
Common Elements
