RxnFinder: biochemical reaction search engines using molecular structures, molecular fragments and reaction similarity

Bioinformatics. 2011 Sep 1;27(17):2465-7. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btr413. Epub 2011 Jul 12.

Abstract

Summary: Biochemical reactions play a key role to help sustain life and allow cells to grow. RxnFinder was developed to search biochemical reactions from KEGG reaction database using three search criteria: molecular structures, molecular fragments and reaction similarity. RxnFinder is helpful to get reference reactions for biosynthesis and xenobiotics metabolism.
