Herrgård2008_MetabolicNetwork_Yeast

This is a reconstruction of the biochemical network of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
carried out at a jamboree organized
in April 2007 in the Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems
Biology. It is the result of a consensus merger of two previous
reconstructions.
Technical notes:
The compartments included here have no volume defined; there
are no reliable estimates available for those volumes yet.
There are no kinetic functions defined for the reactions
because this model only represents the chemical structure of the
network (stoichiometry).
All reactions are marked reversible because all chemical
reactions are reversible.

The model is described in the article and available as supplementary material:
A consensus yeast metabolic network reconstruction obtained from a community approach to systems biology.

Abstract:

Genomic data allow the large-scale manual or semi-automated assembly of metabolic network reconstructions, which provide highly curated organism-specific knowledge bases. Although several genome-scale network reconstructions describe Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism, they differ in scope and content, and use different terminologies to describe the same chemical entities. This makes comparisons between them difficult and underscores the desirability of a consolidated metabolic network that collects and formalizes the 'community knowledge' of yeast metabolism. We describe how we have produced a consensus metabolic network reconstruction for S. cerevisiae. In drafting it, we placed special emphasis on referencing molecules to persistent databases or using database-independent forms, such as SMILES or InChI strings, as this permits their chemical structure to be represented unambiguously and in a manner that permits automated reasoning. The reconstruction is readily available via a publicly accessible database and in the Systems Biology Markup Language (http://www.comp-sys-bio.org/yeastnet). It can be maintained as a resource that serves as a common denominator for studying the systems biology of yeast. Similar strategies should benefit communities studying genome-scale metabolic networks of other organisms. Up to date versions can be found under http://www.comp-sys-bio.org/yeastnet/
