Meeting Purpose

SABIO-RK (http://sabio.villa-bosch.de/SABIORK/) is a curated database containing data about biochemical reactions and their kinetic properties based on literature information. The data comprises information about reactions, their participants including enzyme properties, biological locations (organism, tissue, cell location), kinetic parameters and rate equations determined for the reaction, and the experimental conditions used for the determination.

The User Meeting will focus on:

  • the understanding of current SABIO-RK functionalities
  • delivering insight into the curation process
  • presentations of experiences by SABIO-RK users
  • future developments
Beside presentations of SABIO-RK users and members of the development team there will be tutorials and discussions.
