  1. All numbers correspond to compounds having different InChIs at the connectivity level
  2. (1) The E. coli model contains 751 compounds (with different connectivity InChIs). The column reports the % of these 751 compounds generated by the different rule sets. (2) The MS spectra were downloaded from Metabolight [44] and the OpenMS workflow described in the “Methods” section retrieved a total of 800 distinct peaks. The column reports the % of peak assigned to at least one compound generated by the rule sets. (3) The number indicates the diameter
