Metabolism and Friends
Pathways and MoleculesM.A. Ott
• Metabolism: The reactions in organisms
• Anabolism: Synthesis of larger biomolecules
from smaller ones
» Usually requires energy input
• Catabolism: Break down of larger molecules
into smaller ones
» Usually releases energy
Enzymes
Pathways and MoleculesM.A. Ott
• Virtually all metabolic reactions require enzymatic
catalysis
• Rate enhancement factor can be up to 1015
• Enzymes are highly reaction-specific, catalyzing
only one conversion
• Enzymes are substrate-specific, limiting their action
to only one compound or to related compounds

Metabolic Disorders
Pathways and MoleculesM.A. Ott
• Inability to synthesize compounds:
Absence of important compounds
• Inability to degrade compounds:
Accumulation of undesired waste products
E.g., in phenylketonuria
Phenylketonuria (Error in Phenylalanine Catabolism)

BioMeta Database
Pathways and MoleculesM.A. Ott
• Based on freely available data (KEGG Ligand database)
• Augmentation, completion and correction of
small-molecule information:
- Adding missing stereochemistry to structures
- Balancing atoms and charges in reactions
- Establishing the reversibility and direction of reactions
• Search for alternative pathways between metabolites
• Search for “missing” enzymes
BioMeta: Things Being Done
Pathways and MoleculesM.A. Ott
• Enhancing compound/reaction structures
• Establishing directionality/reversibility of reactions
• Distinguishing cofactors/“current”/“external”/ “common” metabolites from “real” metabolites
• Adding more compound data, e.g. pKa (curve)
• Building WWW interface
BioMeta: Things To Do
Pathways and MoleculesM.A. Ott
• Atom-to-atom correspondence (reaction mapping)
• Pathway search & generation
• Cellular localization
• Enzyme – species relations
