Dear List Memebers,
 Is there a compact, unambigous and unique representation of 3D structure
 of a molecule apart from listing all the coordinates and atom types etc in
 rows? Unique in that sense that there is only one possible representation
 for a particular conformation of a molecule (AFAIK Z matrix is not
 neccessarily is like this, there can be different Z matrices for the same
 molecule). I am thinking about something like SMILES but with 3D
 information in it.
 Thanks:
