Explore Rhea, a comprehensive manually annotated database of biochemical reactions, providing stable identifiers, stoichiometry validation, and reaction decompositions. Benefit from cross-references, bibliographic citations, and search functionalities. Comparison with similar databases highlights Rhea's consistency, directionality, and stoichiometry checks. Access compounds with unique names normalized to pH 7.3. Rhea offers simple and advanced search options, downloadable formats, web services, and insightful exercises. Learn about the history and evolution of BRENDA, the prominent enzyme database.

Rhea Annotated reactions database
Motivation for decomposed reactions • The reactions provided by the NC-IUBMB are free-text... • Can result in duplicate reactions for example.... • acetic acid + ATP + CoA <?> acetyl-CoA + AMP is the same as • acetic acid + CoA + ATP <?> acetyl-CoA + AMP But unless you tell a computer that it will just interpret two different strings.... Rhea
What is Rhea • A manually annotated database of reactions. • Initially populated with reactions from the EC nomenclature (IntEnz/ENZYME) databases. • Also contains non-enzymatic (spontaneous) reactions of biological interest. 3 Rhea

A short history of BRENDA BRaunschweig ENzyme DAtabase 1987 project started at German National Research Centre for Biotechnology in Braunschweig originally published as a series of books 1st Edition 1990-1997 2nd Edition 2000-2009 (45 Volumes) available in print and pdf-format 1996 BRENDA and Dietmar Schomburg moved to University of Cologne here BRENDA was further curated and transformed into a publicly available database 2007 BRENDA moved back to Braunschweig (Technische Universität) continuous curation, technical improvement and further development
Most comprehensive information system on • Enzymes > 3,2 million enzyme-specific data> 100,000 literature references ~ 5,000 EC numbersData categories • Enzymes • Classification and Nomenclature • Reaction & Specificity • Enzyme Structure • Isolation & Preparation • Stability • Kinetic data • Links & Literature References • Metabolites/Ligands • Nomenclature • Structure • Role • Occurrence/concentration
