Abstract:
This paper describes an approach that uses methods for automated sequence analysis and multiple databases accessed through an object+attribute view of the data, together with metabolic pathways, reaction equations, and compounds parsed into a logical representation from the Enzyme and Metabolic Pathway Database as the sources of data for automatically reconstructing a weighted partial metabolic network for a prokaryotic organism. Additional information can be provided interactively by the expert user to guide reconstruction.
