Finding branched pathways in metabolic network via atom group tracking
Fig 8
Two branched metabolic pathways obtained by using overlapping rule and non-overlapping rule respectively.
a) The branched pathway obtained by using overlapping rule. b) The branched pathway obtained by using non-overlapping rule. In the compounds bn1 and bn2, a circle represents an atom and the edges connecting atoms represent bonds. The red and blue partitions in the compounds bn1 and bn2 are the conserved atom group transferred from the source compound. The partition circled with green dashed line in the compound bn1 is the overlapping part of the conserved atom group for pathways 1 and 2.
