BioChemEntity (https://schema.org/BioChemEntity)

https://schema.org/BioChemEntity

Any biological, chemical, or biochemical thing. For example: a protein; a gene; a chemical; a synthetic chemical.

Subclass of: Thing

Subclasses (4)

• ChemicalSubstance — A chemical substance is 'a portion of matter of constant composition, composed of molecular entities of the same type or of different types' (source: [ChEBI:59999](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/searchId.do?chebiId=59999)).
• Gene — A discrete unit of inheritance which affects one or more biological traits (Source: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene)). Examples include FOXP2 (Forkhead box protein P2), SCARNA21 (small Cajal body-specific RNA 21), A- (agouti genotype).
• MolecularEntity — Any constitutionally or isotopically distinct atom, molecule, ion, ion pair, radical, radical ion, complex, conformer etc., identifiable as a separately distinguishable entity.
• Protein — Protein is here used in its widest possible definition, as classes of amino acid based molecules. Amyloid-beta Protein in human (UniProt P05067), eukaryota (e.g. an OrthoDB group) or even a single molecule that one can point to are all of type :Protein. A protein can thus be a subclass of another protein, e.g. :Protein as a UniProt record can have multiple isoforms inside it which would also be :Protein. They can be imagined, synthetic, hypothetical or naturally occurring.

Properties from Thing

Property	Description	Range
additionalType	An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org style guide.	Text, URL
alternateName	An alias for the item.	Text
description	A description of the item.	Text, TextObject
disambiguatingDescription	A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.	Text
identifier	The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of [[Thing]], such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) for more details.	PropertyValue, Text, URL
image	An image of the item. This can be a [[URL]] or a fully described [[ImageObject]].	ImageObject, URL
mainEntityOfPage	Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#mainEntityBackground) for details.	CreativeWork, URL
name	The name of the item.	Text
owner	A person or organization who owns this Thing.	Organization, Person
potentialAction	Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.	Action
sameAs	URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.	URL
subjectOf	A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing.	CreativeWork, Event
url	URL of the item.	URL
