Notes

sm - sex dependence/mutability

See the Header page for a complete discussion of this byte.

p$ - proportion of chemical (A-D)

The proportion of a chemical in the reaction (where $ stands for either A, B, C, or D).

c$ - chemical (A-D)

Each chemical in the reaction (where $ stands for either A, B, C, or D). See the ChemList (C1 or C2) for a listing of all the chemicals in Creatures.

rr - reaction rate

The rate of the reaction, which is concentration dependent and thus exponential over time.

Example(s)

See the Formulae (C1 or C2) page for a listing of the reactions in scientific notation. See also the Mutations (C1) page, as many of the 'named' mutations are changes in Reaction genes.
