PathPred is an enzyme catalyzed metabolic pathway prediction server. Beginning with a query compound and chemical logic of enzymatic reactions (chemical structure transformation patterns of small molecules), biodegradation pathways of environmental compounds and biosynthesis pathways of secondary metabolites are predicted.
The University of Minnesota Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database (UM-BBD) contains information on compounds, enzymes, reactions and microorganism entries. It includes a Biochemical Periodic Table (UM-BPT) and a rule-based Pathway Prediction System (UM-PPS) that predicts plausible pathways for microbial degradation of organic compounds. UM-BBD compound data are contributed to PubChem and ChemSpider, the public chemical databases.
The University of Minnesota Pathway Prediction System (UM-PPS) is a web tool that recognizes functional groups in organic compounds that are potential targets of microbial catabolic reactions and predicts transformations of these groups based on biotransformation rules. Multi-level predictions are made.
