Question for someone with knowledge of (computational?) chemistry: is MIT's Reaction Mechanism Generator[1] software (and associated database[2]) a step in this direction?

As with the other question, above - I think this paper proposes a database of known (experimentally verified?) reactions, rather than predicted ones. Guess they should have been clearer.

RMG predicts likely reactions based on chemical kinetics, which might also make a useful database itself - or link to the experimental one, of course.

Got it, that makes sense - thank you!
