Abstract (Expand)

SABIO-RK is a database for biochemical reactions and their kinetics. Data in SABIO-RK are inherently multidimensional and complex. The complex relationships between the data are often difficult to follow or even not represented when using standard tabular views. With an increasing number of data points the mismatch between tables and insights becomes more obvious, and getting an overview of the data becomes harder. Such complex data benefit from being presented using specially adapted visual tools. Visualization is a natural and user-friendly way to quickly get an overview of the data and to detect clusters and outliers. Here, we describe the implementation of a variety of visualization concepts into a common interface within the SABIO-RK biochemical reaction kinetics database. For that purpose, we use a heat map, parallel coordinates and scatter plots to allow the interactive visual exploration of general entry-based information of biochemical reactions and specific kinetic parameter values.

Abstract (Expand)

The design of biocatalytic reaction systems is highly complex owing to the dependency of the estimated kinetic parameters on the enzyme, the reaction conditions, and the modeling method. Consequently, reproducibility of enzymatic experiments and reusability of enzymatic data are challenging. We developed the XML-based markup language EnzymeML to enable storage and exchange of enzymatic data such as reaction conditions, the time course of the substrate and the product, kinetic parameters and the kinetic model, thus making enzymatic data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). The feasibility and usefulness of the EnzymeML toolbox is demonstrated in six scenarios, for which data and metadata of different enzymatic reactions are collected and analyzed. EnzymeML serves as a seamless communication channel between experimental platforms, electronic lab notebooks, tools for modeling of enzyme kinetics, publication platforms and enzymatic reaction databases. EnzymeML is open and transparent, and invites the community to contribute. All documents and codes are freely available at https://enzymeml.org .

Abstract (Expand)

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.

Abstract (Expand)

EnzymeML is an XML-based data exchange format that supports the comprehensive documentation of enzymatic data by describing reaction conditions, time courses of substrate and product concentrations, the kinetic model, and the estimated kinetic constants. EnzymeML is based on the Systems Biology Markup Language, which was extended by implementing the STRENDA Guidelines. An EnzymeML document serves as a container to transfer data between experimental platforms, modeling tools, and databases. EnzymeML supports the scientific community by introducing a standardized data exchange format to make enzymatic data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable according to the FAIR data principles. An application programming interface in Python supports the integration of software tools for data acquisition, data analysis, and publication. The feasibility of a seamless data flow using EnzymeML is demonstrated by creating an EnzymeML document from a structured spreadsheet or from a STRENDA DB database entry, by kinetic modeling using the modeling platform COPASI, and by uploading to the enzymatic reaction kinetics database SABIO-RK.

Abstract (Expand)

This article describes some use case studies and self-assessments of FAIR status of de.NBI services to illustrate the challenges and requirements for the definition of the needs of adhering to the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) data principles in a large distributed bioinformatics infrastructure. We address the challenge of heterogeneity of wet lab technologies, data, metadata, software, computational workflows and the levels of implementation and monitoring of FAIR principles within the different bioinformatics sub-disciplines joint in de.NBI. On the one hand, this broad service landscape and the excellent network of experts are a strong basis for the development of useful research data management plans. On the other hand, the large number of tools and techniques maintained by distributed teams renders FAIR compliance challenging.

Research projects such as the international COVID-19 Disease Map initiative and the German COVID-19 study hub of NFDI are supported by de.NBI-SysBio tools and services in organizing and sharing research data ’FAIRly‘. This is done via the data management platform FAIRDOMHub/SEEK which is quickly adapted to the users' needs. COVID-19 related literature is manually curated and used for basic research about the curation process of SABIO-RK to provide the research community with high quality kinetics data.
