title: META. 2. A dictionary model of mammalian xenobiotic metabolism.
abstract: META is a new knowledge-based expert system that provides computer simulation of the biotransformation of chemicals. The program is based on the recognition of key functional groups within the complete chemical structure and therefore can predict the metabolites of new xenobiotics. Here, we describe a comprehensive knowledge base built for the purposes of modeling mammalian metabolism with META methodology.
