---- AllanKuchinsky - 2007-01-22 05:15:47 Is there the need for special 'constant' Node(s) in Cytoscape to represent constructs like degradation? Are there special semantics associated with degradation 'nodes', e.g. would one ever want to assign attributes to a particular degradation 'node'? |
Summary
A user wants to describe the possibility that a protein is degraded as part of a ../StoichiometricConversion.
Step-by-Step User Action
- User specifies a protein to be degraded
User specifies a ../StoichiometricConversion with this protein
- User specifies the result of the conversion is degradation
- User specifies the evidence for this relationship
Visual Aides
The Kohn notation for degradation is the following:
attachment:degradation1_061115_dwk.png
An example of the degradation symbol used as the result of a conversion follows:
attachment:degradation2_061115_dwk.png
The color in this example is convention, and is not an essential element in the notation.
Requirements for Cytoscape
TBD
Importance
This is a fairly common reaction.
Other Examples
Comments
Shared ../MimEditorUseCaseComments
In the context of a ../StoichiometricConversion, the BioPax representation would basically be the same as any other ../StoichiometricConversion, except that the degradation products would be described as small molecules, which would not be used in subsequent reactions.
