BridgeDb Attributes

Get properties and attributes for a biological identifier from BridgeDb. Returns metadata such as molecular formula, molecular weight, InChI, InChIKey, synonyms, and other database-specific attributes. Especially useful for metabolites (HMDB, ChEBI, KEGG compound IDs) to get chemical properties, and for genes to get symbol and name information. System codes: Ch=HMDB, Ce=ChEBI, Ck=KEGG Compound, En=Ensembl, H=HGNC, S=UniProt.
