The Graph Grammar Library - A Generic Framework for Chemical Graph Rewrite Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graph rewrite systems are powerful tools to model and study complex problems in various fields of research. Their successful application to chemical reaction modelling on a molecular level was shown but no appropriate and simple system is available at the moment. The presented Graph Grammar Library (GGL) implements a generic Double Push Out approach for general graph rewrite systems. The framework focuses on a high level of modularity as well as high performance, using state-of-the-art algorithms and data structures, and comes with extensive documentation. The large GGL chemistry module enables extensive and detailed studies of chemical systems. It well meets the requirements and abilities envisioned by Yadav et al. (2004) for such chemical rewrite systems. Here, molecules are represented as undirected labeled graphs while chemical reactions are described by according graph grammar rules. Beside the graph transformation, the GGL offers advanced cheminformatics algorithms for instance to estimate energies ofmolecules or aromaticity perception. These features are illustrated using a set of reactions from polyketide chemistry a huge class of natural compounds of medical relevance. The graph grammar based simulation of chemical reactions offered by the GGL is a powerful tool for extensive cheminformatics studies on a molecular level. The GGL already provides rewrite rules for all enzymes listed in the KEGG LIGAND database is freely available at http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/software/GGL/.

A Software Package for Chemically Inspired Graph Transformation
Chemical reaction networks can be automatically generated from graph grammar descriptions, where rewrite rules model reaction patterns. Because a molecule graph is connected and reactions in general involve multiple molecules, the rewriting must be performed on multisets of graphs. We present a general software package for this type of graph rewriting system, which can be used for modelling che...
متن کاملGeneric strategies for chemical space exploration
The chemical universe of molecules reachable from a set of start compounds by iterative application of a finite number of reactions is usually so vast, that sophisticated and efficient exploration strategies are required to cope with the combinatorial complexity. A stringent analysis of (bio)chemical reaction networks, as approximations of these complex chemical spaces, forms the foundation for...
