How to use pathway maps

INDEX

1. Menu Buttons

2. Selection Menu
To select different pathway maps.
3. Pathway Map
The pathway map data.

• Help
To view this on-line document.
• Quit
To quit the program.

• Pathway (Java version only)
This is a popup menu to select different metabolic pathways which are classified hierarchically with the header level and the subheader level.
• Dataset (or Go to in CGI version)
This is a popup menu to select different datasets, e.g., different organisms. Under the CGI version you need to click on "Exec" to actually invoke the selection.

• EC number in the box
By clicking on the enzyme represented by the EC number in the box, you receive the corresponding entry of the LIGAND database, from which you can retrieve a number of related data through DBGET.
• Title of the current pathway
By clicking on the title of the current pathway, you obtain the list of enzymes appearing on this diagram.
• Title of the adjacent pathway
By clicking on the title of the adjacent pathway, you obtain that pathway diagram.

The coloring used in the pathway map are the following:

• green
  The enzymes found in the gene catalog of a specific organism are marked green in order to identify the organism-specific pathways.
• blue
  The enzymes found in a given database are marked blue in order to help retrieve, for example, known 3D structures.
• red
  The enzymes found by the EC number search against pathway maps are marked red.
