How do we construct a metabolic network

Metabolic networks are constructed from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database for each organism where:

For every reaction there is a set of enzyme sequences that we can compare to each organismal set of proteins

to see how well that reaction ‘fits’

Wrapping up

• I have developed a framework to analyze cellular processes, we can:

• Predict organismal networks

• Assess curation efficacy

• Identify intermediate and global structure

• We also are able now to make visualizations that allow for graph traversal and exploration
