Publications

SABIO-RK represents a repository for structured, curated, and annotated data on reactions and their kinetics. The data are manually extracted from the scientific literature and stored in a relational … database. The content comprises both naturally occurring and alternatively measured biochemical reactions, and the data are made available to the public via a web-based search interface as well as easy-to-use JSON web services for programmatic access. Data are highly interlinked to external databases, ontologies, and controlled vocabularies. This includes cross-references with eg Uniprot, ChEBI, KEGG, BRENDA, Biomodels, and MetaNetX. In the past year we have worked on improving findability of SABIO-RK data as well as interoperability: SABIO-RK was extended to read the additional annotations in the EnzymeML data exchange format to allow the direct import of enzymology data from EnzymeML documents. SABIO-RK is part of the EnzymeML workflow to support the data transfer between experimental platforms, modelling tools and databases (Range et al. FEBS J 2021). In the BMBF-funded project SABIO-VIS we focused on visualizing SABIORK data for the purpose of interactive search and search refinement.
