dGPredictor: Automated fragmentation method for metabolic reaction free energy prediction and de novo pathway design.

Group contribution (GC) methods are conventionally used in thermodynamics analysis of metabolic pathways to estimate the standard Gibbs energy change (ΔrG'o) of enzymatic reactions from limited experimental measurements. However, these methods are limited by their dependence on manually curated...
