International Chemical Identifier (InChI)

The International Chemical Identifier (InChI) is a standardized textual format that uniquely represents a chemical substance's molecular structure. It converts complex molecular information into a string of characters, allowing scientists and computers to easily search, compare, and share chemical data across databases. InChI helps ensure consistency and accuracy in identifying chemicals, regardless of naming conventions or language differences. It's widely used in research, regulatory submissions, and publications to facilitate precise communication about chemical compounds.
