Metabolic pathways variability and sequence/networks comparisons [PDF]
Background In this work a simple method for the computation of relative similarities between homologous metabolic network modules is presented. The method is similar to classical sequence alignment and allows for the generation of phenotypic trees ...

Metabolic network visualization eliminating node redundance and preserving metabolic pathways [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe tools that are available to draw and to manipulate the representations of metabolism are usually restricted to metabolic pathways. This limitation becomes problematic when studying processes that span several pathways. The various attempts that have been made to draw genome-scale metabolic networks are confronted with two ...

Pathways and fluxes: exploring the plant metabolic network [PDF]
The transition from a pathway-centred view of plant metabolism to a network-wide perspective is still incomplete. Further progress in this direction requires tools to facilitate the structural description of the network on the basis of fully annotated genomes, techniques for modelling the properties of the network, and experimental methods for ...

Alterations in metabolic pathways and networks in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
The pathogenic mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain largely unknown and clinical trials have not demonstrated significant benefit. Biochemical characterization of AD and its prodromal phase may provide new diagnostic and therapeutic insights.

The global integrative network: integration of signaling and metabolic pathways
Abstract The crosstalk between signaling and metabolic pathways has been known to play key roles in human diseases and plant biological processes. The integration of signaling and metabolic pathways can provide an essential reference framework for crosstalk analysis.
