Summary
The Metabolic Route Search and Design (MRSD) server is an integrated platform for metabolic route search (MRS) and metabolic route design (MRD) based on the data from KEGG. MRS computes metabolic routes between the source metabolite and the product metabolite on the weighted compound transforming graph. Each graph represents a metabolic network. The output from a typical server run contains graphic illustrating metabolic routes between the appointed source and product metabolites, and the detailed information of these routes is also shown in the graph. MRD designs a route in an interactive mode according to the assigned metabolite and the users’ choices. MRSD differs from other tools in providing rapid, user-friendly and versatile functions, including assistant tips and result visualization, as well as the complementary uses of MRS and MRD. Benefit from the carefully designed data format and the search algorithm, a typical search takes only a few seconds to get the result. The MRSD is freely accessible at http://bioinfo.ustc.edu.cn/softwares/mrsd/Further details
