Patent ID: 7250950

Claim:
A computerized method of determining parameters for chemical reactions, comprising: accepting user input identifying a target chemical; searching a database to identify chemical reactions in which the identified target chemical is a reagent and chemical reactions in which the identified target chemical is a product; generating a visual representation of the identified chemical reactions, the visual representation including a graph having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of branches, the plurality of nodes including a first node representing the target chemical and a plurality of second nodes representing first reagent chemicals used to synthesize the target chemical and first product chemicals synthesized using the target chemical as a reagent, the plurality of branches including a plurality of first branches connecting the first node and the plurality of second nodes, each of the first branches representing a reaction path in which the target chemical is synthesized from the corresponding first reagent chemical or a reaction path in which the target chemical is used to synthesize the corresponding first product chemical; and displaying the visual representation.
