RAF-Analyser

Last updated 12 July 2019

Note: This web application is undergoing constant development and updating. In particular, we fixed some bugs (2017-08-02, 2017-08-11 and 2019-07-12) that may have affected previous results. Most recently (2019-07-12) a bug was fixed that affected reactions with a underscore in the name. There was also a bug affecting the calculation of subRAFs on large datasets. There is now a limit of 16 one-way reactions when calculating subRAFs.

Instructions

A sample input dataset has been provided. The input format for Reactions is as follows:
        ReactionName (r1, r'1, r2, etc): Reactants [Catalysts] -> Products
 

The format for the Food set is as follows:
        F: a,b,c,etc

Each line of input is space separated. Extra spaces or characters will cause problems.
Reaction element labels can be alpha-numeric characters only, with the exception of a prime (single quote) character.
Multple Reactants and Products are separated by plus signs with no spaces.
Multiple Catalysts and the Food set elements are separated by commas with no spaces.
Catalyst Ensembles are denoted with an asterisk operator (see example 7).

Optionally, 2-way reactions can be denoted by <-> instead of a ->.
Reactions can be suppressed (i.e. commented out) with a % sign.
