3.4 Exploring Curated Pathways
Click Curated Pathways tap in the left panel of application window to bring up Curated Pathways tab pane. The Curated Pathways tab pane has database tree panel. ‘Databases’ is the root node in the Curated Pathways tree panel and has only child of database server, ‘KEGG’.

Click the KEGG node to show available organisms in KEGG database. After retrieving the data, 213 organism nodes are appeared.

(Number of nodes may vary from this value.) Double click one of the organism nodes to show the accompanying pathways. Double click one of the pathways shows list of reaction nodes.

To load the pathways into the Pathway Panel simply drag a node and drop to the Pathway Panel window. The loaded pathways containing reactions, compounds and their interactions are drawn in model workspace window. Positions of these are randomly placed. Use layout tools to get nice positioning.
