Chemical reactions can be understood as transformations of multigraphs (molecules) that preserve vertex labels (atoms) and degrees (sums of bonding and non-bonding electrons), thereby implying the atom-atom map of a reaction. The…
The large-scale properties of chemical reaction systems, such as the metabolism, can be studied with graph-based methods. To do this, one needs to reduce the information -- lists of chemical reactions -- available in databases. Even for the…

Graph-based reaction systems were recently introduced as a generalization of the intensely studied set-based reaction systems. They deal with simple edge-labeled directed graphs, and dynamic semantics of graph-based reaction systems is…
Graph transformation theory relies upon the composition of rules to express the effects of sequences of rules. In practice, graphs are often subject to constraints, ruling out many candidates for composed rules. Focusing on the case of…
