NCBI Biosystems Database

The NCBI Biosystems database has now gone public. The NCBI BioSystems Database currently contains biological pathways from two source databases, KEGG and the EcoCyc subset of BioCyc. It uses the same search interface as other NCBI databases as pubmed and Entrez Gene.

Use the database to list genes, proteins, and small molecules that are involved in a biological pathway. More

• Find the pathways in which a given gene or protein is involved. More
• Find the pathways in which a specific small molecule is involved. More
• Retrieve 3D structures for proteins involved in a biosystem. More
