RPAIR: A Database of Chemical Transformation Patterns in Enzymatic Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemical genomics is the next stage of post-genomic analysis. Drugs, environmental substances and various chemical compounds contribute to the fluctuation of bio-systems. Therefore, chemical genomic analysis would require the investigation of relationships between genomes and their extracellular environments. These relationships between bio-systems and environments include complicated biochemical reactions. At present, biochemical reactions are hierarchically classified using EC (Enzyme Commission) numbers [1]. However, the classification is not totally based on chemical reactions, but also includes enzymes or enzyme genes. EC numbers are commonly utilized as identifiers of enzymes or enzyme genes [4]. In order to expand our current limited knowledge on biochemical reactions as represented by EC numbers, we developed a novel database that provides the patterns of the conformational changes between the chemical structures of the substrate and product. This database is integrated into the KEGG resource [3], so other databases in KEGG have links to the entries of this database. All of the data is available from http://www.genome.jp/reaction/.

Generalized reaction patterns for prediction of unknown enzymatic reactions.
Prediction of unknown enzymatic reactions is useful for understanding biological processes such as reactions to external substances like endocrine disrupters. To create an accurate prediction, we need to define a similarity measure in the reaction. We have developed the KEGG RPAIR database which is a collection of chemical structure transformation patterns, called RDM patterns, for substrate-pr...

متن کاملSupervised de novo reconstruction of metabolic pathways from metabolome-scale compound sets
MOTIVATION The metabolic pathway is an important biochemical reaction network involving enzymatic reactions among chemical compounds. However, it is assumed that a large number of metabolic pathways remain unknown, and many reactions are still missing even in known pathways. Therefore, the most important challenge in metabolomics is the automated de novo reconstruction of metabolic pathways, wh...
