  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004230",
  "term": "Expert system",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A computer program that emulates the problem-solving and reasoning capabilities of a specialist within a particular field. It consists of a knowledge base containing facts and heuristics, and an inference engine that applies this knowledge to user queries. In computational drug design, these systems are applied to tasks like predicting a molecule's lipophilicity (log P), metabolic fate, or potential toxicity based on its structure.",
