Welcome to biocheminfo.org!


NEW on August 22, 2004! We're looking for Ph.D. students and postdocs to do research on biochemical networks and community entry. Contact Toni Kazic at toni@athe.rnet.missouri.edu if you're interested.

NEW on July 21, 2004! We're looking for Mizzou undergraduate students to help build the databases!

We hope to present a wide variety of resources about biochemistry and its closely related fields. We encourage you to share information with us and the wider community.

We're building the site incrementally, so below we give a brief guide to what's available now.

  1. Currently released material:
    • Klotho: a database of molecular structures
    • Moirai: efforts at simulating biochemical systems. Its components are Klotho, Atropos, and Lachesis.
    • Glossa, a language for declaring the semantics of biological ideas, data, and computations.
    • BND: a database of names and synonyms for molecules
    • END: a database of the Enzyme Nomenclature and related information.
    • Papers, tech reports, and talks about our work.
    • Our release policy. Our goal is to place everything in the public domain.
    • You can download the pdb files for all the molecules here.

  2. Material making its way to public release, but not there quite yet:
    • The Agora: a shared infrastructure for community query, deposit, and review of biochemical information. The Agora uses Glossa to manage the semantics and interoperability of its partner databases, END, BND, Moirai, and UM-BBD.
