Expanding biochemical knowledge and illuminating metabolic dark matter with ATLASx

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner, Anastasia Sveshnikova, Victor Luc Etienne Viterbo

Metabolic "dark matter" describes currently unknown metabolic processes, which form a blind spot in our general understanding of metabolism and slow down the development of biosynthetic cell factories and naturally derived pharmaceuticals. Mapping the dark ...

A workflow for annotating the knowledge gaps in metabolic reconstructions using known and hypothetical reactions

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Jasmin Maria Hafner, Homa Mohammadi Peyhani, Evangelia Vagena, Noushin Hadadi, Anush Chiappino-Pepe

Advances in medicine and biotechnology rely on a deep understanding of biological processes. Despite the increasingly available types and amounts of omics data, significant knowledge gaps remain, with current approaches to identify and curate missing annot ...

NICEpath: Finding metabolic pathways in large networks through atom-conserving substrate-product pairs

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner

Motivation: Finding biosynthetic pathways is essential for metabolic engineering of organisms to produce chemicals, biodegradation prediction of pollutants and drugs, and for the elucidation of bioproduction pathways of secondary metabolites. A key step in ...

OXFORD UNIV PRESS2021

A computational workflow for the expansion of heterologous biosynthetic pathways to natural product derivatives

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner

Plant natural products (PNPs) and their derivatives are important but underexplored sources of pharmaceutical molecules. To access this untapped potential, the reconstitution of heterologous PNP biosynthesis pathways in engineered microbes provides a valua ...

NICEdrug.ch, a workflow for rational drug design and systems-level analysis of drug metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner, Homa Mohammadi Peyhani, Noushin Hadadi, Anush Chiappino-Pepe

The discovery of a drug requires over a decade of intensive research and financial investments – and still has a high risk of failure. To reduce this burden, we developed the NICEdrug.ch resource, which incorporates 250,000 bioactive molecules, and studied ...

Modeling, predicting and mining metabolism at atom-level resolution

Jasmin Maria Hafner

Living organisms can catalyze many thousands of biochemical reactions that they use to convert energy and matter, which provides them with the essentials for life. The sum of these chemical reactions happening in an organism is called metabo-lism. Understa ...

Updated ATLAS of Biochemistry with New Metabolites and Improved Enzyme Prediction Power

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner, Anastasia Sveshnikova, Alan Scheidegger

The ATLAS of Biochemistry is a repository of both known and novel predicted biochemical reactions between biological compounds listed in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). ATLAS was originally compiled based on KEGG 2015, though the number ...

AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020

Reconstruction of biological pathways and metabolic networks from in silico labeled metabolites

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner, Noushin Hadadi, Keng Cher Soh

Reaction atom mappings track the positional changes of all of the atoms between the substrates and the products as they undergo the biochemical transformation. However, information on atom transitions in the context of metabolic pathways is not widely avai ...

ATLAS of Biochemistry: A Repository of All Possible Biochemical Reactions for Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering Studies

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner, Noushin Hadadi, Adrian Shajkofci, Aikaterini Zisaki

Because the complexity of metabolism cannot be intuitively understood or analyzed, computational methods are indispensable for studying biochemistry and deepening our understanding of cellular metabolism to promote new discoveries. We used the computationa ...
