RxnIP (FAQ)


Q: What is RxnIP?

A: RxnIP is an integrative platform to search, generalize, and annotate biochemical reactions.

Q: Functions provided in RxnIP?

A: Firstly, reaction database searching functions; seconldy, reaction generalizations by defining chemical transformation patterns; thirdly, EC number annotations to enzymatic reactions.

Q: Searching functions provided in RxnIP?

A: Three are three searching methods: partipating molecule, smart molecular fragment, and reaction similarity. Searching functions are listed at ReactDB

Q: Generalization functions provided in RxnIP?

A: More than 4000 reactions are generalized into 990 chemical transformation patterns. A mapping is built between EC numbers and chemical transformation patterns. Generalization functions are available at RxnPattern

Q: Automatic EC number annotation functions provided in RxnIP?

A: EC number assignment tool is developed to assign EC numbers to enzymatic reactions by using reaction difference fingerprints (RDF). EC number annotation functions are linked at ECAssigner

Q: Website (with example) to search reactions by participaing molecules?

A: At searching reactions by participating molecule (with example), users can retrieve reactions containg a specific molecule.

Q: Website (with example) to search reactions by molecular fragment?

A: At searching reactions by molecular fragment (with example), users can retrieve reactions containg a given molecular fragment.

Q: Website (with example) to search reactions by reaction similarity?

A: At searching reactions by reaction similarity (with example), users can retrieve reactions most similar to a input reaction.

Q: Website (with example) to get chemical transformation patterns?

A: At reaction pattern list , users can get intuitive patterns defined for EC numbers.

Q: Web server (with example) to extract chemical transformation patterns?

A: At RxnPatter , users can extract patterns for a input reaction.

Q: Website (with example) to search chemical transformation patterns by EC numbers?

A: At RxnPattern Searching for Given EC Numbers (with example), users can get patterns defined for a given EC number.

Q: Website (with example) to assign EC numbers to enzymatic reactions?

A: At EC Assignment (with example), users can get EC number annotation calculated for a given reaction.

Q: Where to contribute reactions to RxnIP?

A: At Reaction contribution, users can contribute reaction to RxnIP.

Q: How to draw molecule in RxnIP?

A: At Molecule input, users can draw molecular structures and get smiles string for a molecule.

Q: How to draw reaction in RxnIP?

A: At Reaction input, users can draw reactions and get smirks string for a reaction.

Q: How to get molecular fragments in RxnIP?

A: At molecular fragments, users can get molecular fragments for a molecule.

Q: How to get reaction difference fingerprints in RxnIP?

A: At reaction difference fingerprints, users can obtain reaction difference fingerprints for a reaction.

Q: Where to calculate reaction distance of two reactions?

A: At reaction distance, users can calculate reaction distance for two reactions.
