We decided to model the species (either complex or simple species) using two data structures:
- ChainList is used to describe chains of DNA, RNA or Protein molecules. Small molecules are also of such structure with only one element on one chain.
- Tree structure is used to describe binding state of elements of different chains. Children nodes bind with each other and form their parent node. Thus, other than chains, a species has its binding state forest, which composed of many trees mentioned above.
