  "term": "ISIS keys",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A set of predefined structural fragments or patterns used to represent chemical structures in a binary format for efficient substructure searching and similarity comparisons in chemical databases. These keys are generated by identifying the presence or absence of specific structural features within a molecule. They are widely employed in cheminformatics for rapid screening of large compound libraries.",
