Current and Filled Pathway Holes of <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12 substr. MG1655

Current and Filled Pathway Holes of Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655

A pathway hole is a pathway reaction for which no corresponding enzyme has been identified in the genome. We consider only contiguous pathways (pathways containing connected sets of reactions, as opposed to pathways containing unconnected sets of reactions) when enumerating pathway holes.

This report includes two tables regarding pathway holes in Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655:

Current Pathway Holes: A list of reactions within metabolic pathways of Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655 for which no corresponding enzyme has been found.

Filled Pathway Holes: A list of former pathway holes within metabolic pathways of Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655 which have been filled with the assistance of the Pathway Hole Filler.


Current Pathway Holes

This table lists reactions within metabolic pathways of Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655 for which no corresponding enzyme has been identified in the genome. The presence of those enzymes is suggested by the presence of the pathway.

28 pathway holes (2.7%) are present in the 1028 total reactions of 337 pathways
