CHEM 143: The Chemical Principles of Life II: Biochemical pathways
This guide contains resources to help students learn about biochemistry and to complete class projects.
Biochemical Pathways
- KEGG PATHWAY Database"KEGG PATHWAY is a collection of manually drawn pathway maps representing our knowledge on the molecular interaction, reaction and relation networks for metabolism, genetic information processing, environmental information processing, cellular processes, organismal systems, human diseases, and drug development." (website description)
Reactome
Publication Date: 2003-"REACTOME is an open-source, open access, manually curated and peer-reviewed pathway database. Our goal is to provide intuitive bioinformatics tools for the visualization, interpretation and analysis of pathway knowledge to support basic and clinical research, genome analysis, modeling, systems biology and education." (website description)Biochemical Pathways by Dietmar Schomburg (Editor); Gerhard Michal (Editor)
ISBN: 9780470146842Publication Date: 2012-10-30"Now in its second edition, Biochemical Pathways continues to garner praise for its clear, full-color illustrations of the pathways and networks that determine biological function. This book examines the biochemistry of bacteria, plants, and animals. It offers a quick overview of the metabolic sequences in biochemical pathways, the chemistry and enzymology of conversions, the regulation of turnover, the expression of genes, the immunological interactions, and the metabolic background of health disorders. A standard set of conventions is used in all illustrations, enabling readers to easily gather information and compare the key elements of different biochemical pathways.” (publisher's description)
