ValueSet: Molecular Definition Molecule Type (Experimental)

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/cg-incubator/ValueSet/moleculardefinition-moleculetype Version: 0.1.0-ci-build
Standards status: Informative Draft as of 2026-03-13 Maturity Level: 0 Computable Name: MolecularDefinitionMoleculeType
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.3.3001

The broad physical class of molecule represented by a MolecularDefinition resource instance: DNA, RNA, or amino acid (polypeptide). This ValueSet is used for the moleculeType element and is intentionally limited to top-level molecule classes to support consistent searching and profiling across systems. For finer-grained classification, use the type element bound to MolecularDefinitionType.
