The fungal anthracene pathway was started by a student in the 2007 Biocatalysis and Biodegradation class, and the bisphenol F pathway was created by a student in the 2008 Biocatalysis and Biodegradation class. http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/ant2/ant2_map.html http://srs.ebi.ac.uk/srs6bin/cgi-bin/wgetz?-e+[upathway-id:'ant2_map'] http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/bpf/bpf_map.html http://srs.ebi.ac.uk/srs6bin/cgi-bin/wgetz?-e+[upathway-id:'bpf_map'] - In the Pathway Prediction System (PPS), a super rule, bt0388, was created to degrade aromatic amines and benzoquinones to dihydroxyaromatics. Test this with p-aminophenol, Nc1ccc(O)cc1, which goes to hydroquinione in one step using the super rule bt0388. Predictions for these types of compounds are better and faster. http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/predict/ http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/servlets/rule.jsp?rule=bt0388 - On UM-BBD reaction pages, the number of hits from Medline searches has been updated. On UM-BBD enzyme pages, the number of hits from GenBank, GenPept, and PDB searches have been updated. Lists of all reaction and enzyme pages are available. http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/servlets/pageservlet?ptype=allreacs http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/servlets/pageservlet?ptype=allenzymes - On the Links page, links were updated for the CBS NCCB bacteria/ plasmids database, and the US Department of Energy Biological and Environmental Research (BER) Program. http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/resources.html If you have comments on any aspect of the UM-BBD, please let us know.
