Subsystem Summaries
Subsystems are a generalization of the concept of pathways, and they have two components. First is a list of functional roles that are united by any common process or biologically meaningful organizing principle. These are often metabolic pathways, but subsystems may also describe complex structures or phenotypes. Second is a spreadsheet, called a populated subsystem, which is a two-dimensional integration of biological functions with genome sequences. In the populated subsystem, functional roles are represented in columns, genomes are represented in rows, and cells of the spreadsheet are populated by the genes responsible for each function.

Partial metabolic reconstructions of organisms are summarized here in lists of genes that have been categorized and organized into subsystems. First, choose an organism of interest from the scrolling list:
Click "Show Subsystems" to get a list of subsystems in that organism with links to the specific gene(s) that implement the corresponding functional roles.
-
Heading links will open the corresponding populated subsystem.
-
Identification numbers (fig|genome_number . peg . number) link to the NMPDR protein context page.
Click "Show Reactions" to get a summary of reactions associated with each major area of metabolism with links to KEGG reaction diagrams.
To browse the list of available subsystems without first choosing an organism, see the subsystems search form.
