Abstract:
Computational approaches to biochemistry like modeling and simulation are dependent on the availability of kinetic information. This information can either be directly derived from experimental data generated by collaborators or has to be digged up from literature, often both. More recently, data stored in databases has started to be a valuable addition as a source of enzyme kinetic data. In order to faciliate modeling and simulation, various tools have been developed in recent years. However, automatizing steps in setting up, analyzing or simulating models requires the data to be in defined formats. Crucial points are addressed below.
