Reaction Data Curation I: Chemical Structures and Transformations Standardization.

The quality of experimental data for chemical reactions is a critical consideration for any reaction-driven study. However, the curation of reaction data has not been extensively discussed in the literature so far. Here, we suggest a 4 steps protocol that includes the curation of individual structures (reactants and products), chemical transformations, reaction conditions and endpoints.

Combined Graph/Relational Database Management System for Calculated Chemical Reaction Pathway Data.

Presently, quantum chemical calculations are widely used to generate extensive data sets for machine learning applications; however, generally, these sets only include information on equilibrium structures and some close conformers. Exploration of potential energy surfaces provides important information on ground and transition states, but analysis of such data is complicated due to the number of possible reaction pathways. Here, we present RePathDB, a database system for managing 3D structural data for both ground and transition states resulting from quantum chemical calculations.
