Pathway examples. Examples of four pathways and associated Z O scores. Assignment of sets S and T are indicated with dashed boxes and atom mappings with atom colorings in figure. Top left: pathway P1 = {r1, r2} transfers all three atoms in S to T, achieving Z O (P1, S, T) = = 1. Bottom left: pathway P2 = {r3, r4} transfers green and black atoms to T. Since grey atom is not in S, Z O (P2, S, T) = . Top right: branching pathway P3 = {r5, r6, r7, r8} transfers all atoms in S, resulting in Z O (P3, S, T) = 1. Bottom right: pathway P4 = {r9, r10} transfers the only target atom from S, giving Z O (P4, S, T) = 1. However, two atoms of S are not transferred to T.
