International chemical identifier for chemical reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
An open-access software for creating a unique, text-based identifier for reactions (RInChI) was developed by the Goodman group at the University of Cambridge, based on the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI) standard. RInChIs describe the substances (reactants, products, reagents and solvents) participating in a reaction with their respective InChIs. The structure of RInChIs is analogous to that of InChIs. In addition to generate RInChIs from widely used Rxnfiles and RDfiles, the software also includes the generation of longand short-form, hashed representations RInChIKeys. Furthermore, the software allows to reversibly convert between CT-files and RInChIs, to search for specific substances and their specific roles in reactions and to analyze databases. All these functions are available through web-based tools. An easyto-use website has been developed at the University of Cambridge and is freely accessible at http://www-rinchi. ch.cam.ac.uk/. We will discuss details of the program and the status of the RInChI project.

International chemical identifier for reactions (RInChI)
The IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI) provides a method to generate a unique text descriptor of molecular structures. Building on this work, we report a process to generate a unique text descriptor for reactions, RInChI. By carefully selecting the information that is included and by ordering the data carefully, different scientists studying the same reaction should produce the sam...
متن کاملRepresentation of chemical structures
At the root of applications for substructure and similarity searching, reaction retrieval, synthesis planning, drug discovery, and physicochemical property prediction is the need for a machine-readable representation of a structure. Systematic nomenclature is unsuitable, and notations and fragment codes have been superseded, except in certain specific applications. Connection tables are widely ...
متن کاملa New Approximate Solution Technique (Quantized Method) for Simultaneous Gas Solid Reactions
Simultaneous reactions between solids and gases are very important in the chemical and metallurgical processes. In the modeling, the chemical reaction and diffusion of gases must be considered. Therefore, a set of coupled partial differential equations is found. When the kinetic is a function of solid concentration, there is not any analytical solution for these equations. Therefore, numerical ...
متن کاملInChI - the worldwide chemical structure identifier standard
Since its public introduction in 2005 the IUPAC InChI chemical structure identifier standard has become the international, worldwide standard for defined chemical structures. This article will describe the extensive use and dissemination of the InChI and InChIKey structure representations by and for the world-wide chemistry community, the chemical information community, and major publishers and...
