The section will describe step by step description to load pathways database from server. Click database tap in the left panel of application window to bring up database tab pane. The database tab pane has two components: database tree panel at top and detail description panel at button. ‘Databases’ is the root node in the database tree panel and has only child of database server, ‘KEGG’.
Double 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 one of the pathways shows list of reaction nodes. At this stage your application should similar like in Figure 1.
To load the pathways database simply drag a node and drop to the model workspace window. It can also be drop to text editor that support drag-and-drop operation. 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.
