We have considered using toxic chemicals as inputs to our program to suggest a pathway that would convert harmful pollutants into valuable chemicals. I wrote a script that scans a list of harmful chemicals from the EPA and then forms a dictionary pairing the chemical name to its KEGG_ID. The script doesn't quite work perfectly and not all chemicals are found on Kegg. This will be improved throughout the week. Also, I am looking into the possibility of using django to host our application on the web.
