Each polymer sequence has a connection with a polymer chemistry definiton. It is crucial, for the proper functioning of the software, that each polymer sequence be permanently connected to a valid polymer chemistry definition. This is required so that the biochemical/mass spectrometric simulations be performed using proper chemical entities. This figure illustrates the algorithm which is used in the software to make sure that any polymer sequence being loaded in the sequence editor has a corresponding polymer chemistry definition associated to it and that this definition is actually available on the system.
