UM-BBD Sixth Annual User Survey April 12, 2001
This is the Sixth Annual UM-BBD User Survey. Since last year, in part
based on last year's survey, we have added 5 and updated 9 pathways.
Also, searching for enzyme name synonyms (alternative names) is available;
the Boolean operators AND OR or NOT can be used in compound and enzyme
name searches; searches on partial EC codes return results ordered by EC
code; enzyme pages include links which search GenBank for gene sequences,
GenPept for protein sequences and PDB for protein structures, when
appropriate; reaction pages include links to enzyme pages; and compound
pages include SMILES strings.
Please take a few minutes to answer the following questions to help guide
this year's work and return this survey to me at:
[log in to unmask]
by April 27, 2001. Results will be reported on the UM-BBD
(http://umbbd.ahc.umn.edu/) and sent to the UM-BBD user e-mail list.
Where you are asked to choose between different answers, please indicate
your choice as: ___X___
Thank you very much for your help.
