The Encyclopedia of Genes and Metabolism (EcoCyc) is a database that
combines information about the genome and the intermediary metabolism of
Escherichia coli. It describes 2970 genes of E.coli, 547 enzymes encoded by
these genes, 702 metabolic reactions that occur in E.coli and the
organization of these reactions into 107 metabolic pathways. The EcoCyc
graphical user interface allows scientists to query and explore the EcoCyc
database using visualization tools such as genomic- map browsers and
automatic layouts of metabolic pathways. EcoCyc spans the space from
sequence to function to allow scientists to investigate an unusually broad
range of questions. EcoCyc can be thought of as both an electronic review
article because of its copious references to the primary literature, and as
an in silicio model of E.coli metabolism that can be probed and analyzed
through computational means.
