RbioRXN (version 1.3.1)

get.metacyc.all: Download current MetaCyc via BioCyc Web Services

Description

This function first retrieves all MetaCyc reaction IDs and download BioPAX level 3 for each reaction, then parse to generate data.frame() object. Note that because this function interacts with BioCyc web service for every reaction, it will take many hours depending on your network speed. Thus, we strongly recommend to use parse.metacyc.reaction() and parse.metacyc.compound() functions in this package after manually downloading MetaCyc from http://biocyc.org/download.shtml

Usage

get.metacyc.all()

Value

• R data.frame() object where data fields indclude
• MetaCyc
  MetaCyc ID
• name
  Reaction equation with chemical standard name
• ec_number
  E.C number
• name_id
