TrypanoCyc: a community-led biochemical pathways database for Trypanosoma brucei
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2015
The metabolic network of a cell represents the
catabolic and anabolic reactions that interconvert
small molecules (metabolites) through the activity of
enzymes, transporters and non-catalyzed chemical
reactions. Our understanding of individual metabolic
networks is increasing as we learn more about
the enzymes that are active in particular cells under
particular conditions and as technologies advance
to allow detailed measurements of the cellular
metabolome. Metabolic network databases are
of increasing importance in allowing us to contextualise
data sets emerging from transcriptomic,
proteomic and metabolomic experiments. Here we
present a dynamic database, TrypanoCyc (http:
//www.metexplore.fr/trypanocyc/), which describes
the generic and condition-specific metabolic network
of Trypanosoma brucei, a parasitic protozoan responsible
for human and animal African trypanosomiasis.
In addition to enabling navigation through the BioCyc-based TrypanoCyc interface, we have also
implemented a network-based representation of the
information through MetExplore, yielding a novel environment
in which to visualise the metabolism of
this important parasite.
