Escherichia coli Genomic Resources
EcoCyc:
The Encyclopedia of E. Coli Genes and Metabolism -
"The short-term goal of the project is to compile a large knowledge base
(KB) describing the genes and intermediary metabolism of the bacterium E.
coli. The EcoCyc KB will
describe each pathway and bioreaction of E. coli metabolism, and the
enzyme that carries out each bioreaction, including its cofactors,
activators, inhibitors, and the subunit structure of the enzyme. When
known, the genes encoding the subunits of an enzyme will be listed, as
well as the map position of a gene on the E. coli chromosome. In addition,
the KB will describe every chemical compound involved in each bioreaction,
listing synonyms for the compound name, the molecular weight of the
compound, and in many cases its chemical structure. A graphical user interface
allows biologists to query the KB, and to navigate through the genomic
and metabolic information space for E. coli."
