- Chemical Structure: Each entry in ChEBI includes a detailed chemical structure, which can be viewed in various formats.
- Biological Role: Information about the biological role of each chemical entity is provided, helping users understand its function in biological systems.
- Ontology: ChEBI is part of a larger ontology that connects chemical entities to other biological data, facilitating integrative research.
Applications[edit | edit source]
ChEBI is widely used in various fields of biochemistry, pharmacology, and bioinformatics. It is particularly useful for:
- Drug Discovery: Researchers use ChEBI to identify potential drug candidates and understand their interactions with biological systems.
- Metabolomics: ChEBI helps in the identification and analysis of metabolites in biological samples.
- Education: ChEBI serves as an educational tool for teaching students about chemical entities and their roles in biology.
Access and Use[edit | edit source]
ChEBI is accessible online and can be integrated into other databases and software tools. It supports various data formats and provides an API for programmatic access.
