exact_mass [Isotopic Mass]
canonical_SMILES [String]
num_atoms [Number]
num_bonds [Number]
num_residues [Number]
sequence [Residue Sequence]
num_rings [Number of Rings (by SSSR)]
logP [Number (octanol-water partition)]
PSA [Number (topological polar surface area)] MR [Number (molar refractivity)]
$$$

The “$$$” is the separator between multiple molecular entries in a file
