  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010952",
  "term": "SMARTS",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A language for describing molecular patterns, similar to SMILES but designed for substructure searching rather than unique molecule representation. It allows for the specification of atoms, bonds, and connectivity in a more generalized and flexible manner, including wildcards and logical operators. This system is widely used in cheminformatics for defining chemical queries and reactions.",
