Systems Chemistry reaction graph

The present book describes all the significant studies and findings on the chemistry of the more than 30 different bioluminescent systems presently known, accompanied by over 1000 selected references. It includes descriptions of the purification and properties of bioluminescent compounds, such as luciferins, luciferases and photoproteins, and the mechanisms of luminescence reactions. To make the book more useful than a mere review volume and to save researchers time in looking into original references, I have included a considerable amount of original experimental methods, data and graphs. In addition, I have included some new data and experimental methods unavailable elsewhere. I hope this volume will be useful to researchers and students, and it will be my greatest pleasure if this book contributes... 

One method of creating new reactions is by the use of chemical transforms. These can be simple transforms, based solely on graph theory or general and well-understood chemistry. A more ambitious approach would be to use one of the available retrosynthesis programs mentioned previously these systems have the advantage of far more sophisticated transform descriptions, in many cases representing many millions of dollars in development. In either case, the reactions are created by the following steps ...

Chemists are very permissive about which kinds of mathematical structures can serve as models. But while just about any kind of mathematical structure can serve as a chemical model, different types of systems lend themselves to particular kinds of mathematical structures used in modeling. For example, the most common kinds of mathematical structures employed in quantum chemistry are state spaces, typically correlating sub-molecular particle distances with energy. Other parts of chemical modeling are dynamical, hence they employ trajectory spaces, which can represent the course of a reaction through different states. Still other kinds of mathematical structures such as graphs can be employed to model molecular structure and groups to model symmetry properties of molecules.
