In the present site we offer an interactive learning tool in order to improve the understanding of metabolic pathways mainly in the context of human metabolism.
Every
point / bullet represents a metabolite and every arrow a reaction that can lead you to the next metabolite or to the next reaction of a metabolic pathway. This way, metabolic reactions can take you from one part of metabolism to another in a similar way that an underground railway can take you from one part of a city to the other. Metabolism does the same: it transforms metabolites from one to the other, eventually providing energy or “building blocks” for the organism to produce its own substances.
Take a train, change lines and ride from glucose to CO
2 or to the synthesis of a new fatty acid but most importantly:
HAVE FUN!
