Searching across hundreds of databases
Mass spectrometric analysis of microbial metabolism provides a long list of possible compounds. Restricting the identification of the possible compounds to those produced by the specific organism would benefit the identification process. Currently, identification of mass spectrometry (MS) data is commonly done using empirically derived compound databases. Unfortunately, most databases contain relatively few compounds, leaving long lists of unidentified molecules. Incorporating genome-encoded metabolism enables MS output identification that may not be included in databases. Using an organism's genome as a database restricts metabolite identification to only those compounds that the organism can produce.

View all literature mentionsFounded in 1901, NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. NIST''s mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. NIST carries out its mission through the following programs: * the NIST Laboratories, conducting world-class research, often in close collaboration with industry, that advances the nation''s technology infrastructure and helps U.S. companies continually improve products and services; * the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a nationwide network of local centers offering technical and business assistance to smaller manufacturers to help them create and retain jobs, increase profits, and save time and money; and * the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which promotes performance excellence among U.S. manufacturers, service companies, educational institutions, health care providers, and nonprofit organizations; conducts outreach programs; and manages the annual Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award which recognizes performance excellence and quality achievement; * From 2007 to 2011, NIST provided cost-shared grants through the Technology Innovation Program, and between 1990 and 2007, it managed the Advanced Technology Program. NIST measurements support the smallest of technologiesnanoscale devices so tiny that tens of thousands can fit on the end of a single human hairto the largest and most complex of human-made creations, from earthquake-resistant skyscrapers to wide-body jetliners to global communication networks. We invite you to explore our web site to learn about our current projects, to find out how you can work with us, or to make use of our products and services. From the smart electric power grid and electronic health records to atomic clocks, advanced nanomaterials, and computer chips, innumerable products and services rely in some way on technology, measurement, and standards provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. NIST funds industrial and academic research in a variety of ways. The Small Business Innovation Research Program funds R&D proposals from small businesses. We also offer other grants to encourage work in specific fields: precision measurement, fire research, and materials science. Grants/awards supporting research at industry, academic, and other institutions are available on a competitive basis through several different Institute offices. For general information on NIST grants programs, please contact Christopher Hunton at christopher.hunton@nist.gov and (301) 975-5718.
View all literature mentionsThe HumanCyc database describes human metabolic pathways and the human genome. By presenting metabolic pathways as an organizing framework for the human genome, HumanCyc provides the user with an extended dimension for functional analysis of Homo sapiens at the genomic level. A computational pathway analysis of the human genome assigned human enzymes to predicted metabolic pathways. Pathway assignments place genes in their larger biological context, and are a necessary step toward quantitative modeling of metabolism. HumanCyc contains the complete genome sequence of Homo sapiens, as presented in Build 31. Data on the human genome from Ensembl, LocusLink and GenBank were carefully merged to create a minimally redundant human gene set to serve as an input to SRI''s PathoLogic software, which generated the database and predicted Homo sapiens metabolic pathways from functional information contained in the genome''s annotation. SRI did not re-annotate the genome, but worked with the gene function assignments in Ensembl, LocusLink, and GenBank. The resulting pathway/genome database (PGDB) includes information on 28,783 genes, their products and the metabolic reactions and pathways they catalyze. Also included are many links to other databases and publications. The Pathway Tools software/database bundle includes HumanCyc and the Pathway Tools software suite and is available under license. This form of HumanCyc is faster and more powerful than the Web version.
View all literature mentionsMetaCyc is a database of nonredundant, experimentally elucidated metabolic pathways. MetaCyc contains more than 1,200 pathways from more than 1,600 different organisms, and is curated from the scientific experimental literature. MetaCyc contains pathways involved in both primary and secondary metabolism, as well as associated compounds, enzymes, and genes.
