PageRank for a molecule graph

Built for engineers using it for real design work. Go from concept to a running model in the browser, then scale to the cloud when needed. Simulate a molecule graph live below — adjust the inputs and watch it respond, right in your browser.

Damping factor d

PageRank ranks nodes by importance: a page is important if important pages link to it. It is computed by imagining a random surfer who follows links with probability d and jumps randomly otherwise, then finding where they spend the most time. This eigenvector of the link matrix launched Google and now ranks everything from proteins to social influence.

Governing equation

P R (p) = \frac{1 - 0.85}{6} + 0.85 q \sum \frac{P R ( q )}{L ( q )}

Reading this result: PageRank is the stationary distribution of a random surfer who follows links with probability d and teleports to a random page with probability 1−d. At d=0.85 link structure dominates but teleport still keeps every node reachable.
