Addition of Discover section to Home Page

Release 2.7.1

The Discover section in the Home Page was implemented. In this section the user can select a reactant from a list of common organic molecules, select a reaction to perform on the reactant, and then click on the beaker to see the result of the reaction. The motivation of this feature is to show a light-weight implementation of what will eventually become a full-fledged feature: exploring hypothetical products created when specified reactions are applied to a reactant(s).

Standards - No new standards have been applied for this update: Standard IUPAC naming rules are still followed.

Controls - The Discover section was designed to be intuitive. The user selects a starting molecule from the drop-up list, selects a reaction from the drop-up list, and finally clicks the beaker icon to see the result.

Future considerations - The full-fledged feature will be designed to work with all reactants and reactions supported by the interface and the pathway search engine. Additionally, support for multiple products of the reaction and expected percentage of each will be in place.
