What's New in the UM-BBD?
November 18, 2009
A pathway for 3,3'-dithiodipropionate,
(
US) or (
UK),
a precursor to microbially synthesized polythioesters, was added,
and the pathway for benzo(a)pyrene,
(
US) or (
UK),
was updated. The 3,3'-dithiodipropionate pathway was
started by a student in the 2009 Biocatalysis and Biodegradation
class.
October 14, 2009
A pathway for N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), a popular insect repellant,
(US) or (UK),
was added. This
pathway was started by a student in the 2009 Biocatalysis and
Biodegradation class.
September 11, 2009
A pathway for 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile,
(US) or (UK),
was added
and pathways were updated for the nitrophenol family,
(US) or (UK),
anaerobic trinitrotoluene (TNT),
(US) or (UK),
and fungal caffeine,
(US) or (UK).
The 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile pathway
was started by a student in the 2009 Biocatalysis and Biodegradation
class.
On the Links page, a link was added to the E-zyme system for EC code
prediction at Kyoto University, Japan.
With the cooperation of Maasaki Kotera from Kyoto University,
co-developer of the E-zyme system, all UM-BBD EC codes were verified
and those in error were corrected. A list of all UM-BBD enzymes,
ordered by EC code, is available.
July 29, 2009
A pathway for N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide,
(US) or (UK),
was added. This pathway
was started by a student in the 2009 Biocatalysis and Biodegradation
class.
The UM-BBD has been favorably reviewed by Victor deLorenzo
(2008) Current Opinion in Biotechnology 19: 579-589.
Reviews and other publications are available.
June 17, 2009
A pathway for the 3-nitrotyrosine family,
(US) or (UK),
was added. This pathway was started by a student in the 2009 Biocatalysis and Biodegradation class.
On the Links page, a link was added to the MicrobeWiki at Kenyon College,
a link was updated for the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Structure Index from the National Institute of Standards and Technology,
and a link was removed for the Hazardous Chemical Database at the University of Akron.
May 13, 2009
The isoniazid,
(US) or (UK),
pathway was updated.
April 15, 2009
Pathways were added for carbofuran,
(US) or (UK),
and carbaryl,
(US) or (UK),
N-methylcarbamate insecticides.
These pathways were started by a student in the 2008 BioC/MicE 5309 class.
March 17, 2009
A pathway was added for morpholine,
(US) or (UK),
a common organic synthesis reactant.
The pathway was started by a student in the 2008 BioC/MicE 5309 class.
Enzyme information was added or updated for 13 reactions.
A list of all enzymes is available.
February 12, 2009
A pathway was added for metamitron,
(US) or (UK),
and the pathways for parathion,
(US) or (UK),
o-xylene,
(US) or (UK),
and p-xylene,
(US) or (UK),
were updated. The metamitron pathway was started by a student in
the 2008 Biocatalysis and Biodegradation class.
