Additional Descriptive Information for Depositors

 
The names of the entities. Proteins and biological nucleic acids 
(such as t-RNA) are identified by their common names, short NA strands by 
their nucleotide sequences, and non-polymer compounds by their chemical or 
trivial names.

Polymer compounds (proteins and nucleic acids) are expected to have their sequences entered under the category entity_poly.
