6.5 Define Normal Constraints

Normal constraints specify the required geometric relationships of molecular features and are independent of the database structure's orientation.

Types of normal constraints that can be defined in SLN include:

• Angle
• Dihedral
• Distance
• 2 Lines/Planes Angle

Note: In practice, a query will not contain both normal and spatial constraints.
