Overview
Released: 
July 2018

AraCyc is the most highly curated species-specific database present at the PMN. It has a large number of experimentally supported enzymes and metabolic pathways, but it also houses a substantial number of computationally predicted enzymes and pathways.

More information on AraCyc curation is available.

Taxonomic Range: 
Arabidopsis thaliana col

Primarily E2P2 v3.1

Enzyme Evidence: 
  • Substantial manual curation of enzymes
  • In addition, large-scale computational predictions of enzyme function not subject to curator review
