Abstract

Metabolic, signaling and regulatory pathways form the basis of biological processes and are important for the analysis of cellular behavior and evolution. This paper presents an approach of aligning biochemical pathways on the basis of the structure of involved proteins and their classification. The suitable information is retrieved from an integrated database system.SIGNALIGN is available at: http://agbi.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/signalign/index.jsp
