BioCyc is a collection of 2988 Pathway/Genome Databases (PGDBs). Each PGDB in the BioCyc collection describes the genome and metabolic pathways of a single organism. (as of March 2014) The paper is: The MetaCyc database of metabolic pathways and enzymes and the BioCyc collection of Pathway/Genome Databases.

Nucleic Acids Res. 2014 Jan;42(Database issue):D459-71. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkt1103. Epub 2013 Nov 12. The BioCyc Web site contains many tools for navigating, visualizing, and analyzing these databases, and for analyzing omics data. ZINC uses Biocyc via PubChem. We are grateful to the authors of BioCyc for creating and maintaning this resource, and for allowing us to incorporate it in ZINC.
We assess the chemical diversity of a subset by clustering the molecules. First, we sort ligands by increasing molecular weight. Then, we use the SUBSET 1.0 algorithm ( Voigt JH, Bienfait B, Wang S, Nicklaus MC. JCICS, 2001, 41, 702-12) to progressively select compounds that differ from those previously selected by at least the Tanimoto cutoff, using ChemAxon default fingerprints. The resulting representatives have two interesting properties:
Tanimoto Cutoff Level | 60% | 70% | 80% | 90% | 100% |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Number of Representatives | 696 | 1,220 | 2,121 | 3,691 | 12,529 |
We compute the physical properties of each molecule in the subset, and graph them below.
