Systems biology metabolic modeling assistant: an ontology-based tool for the integration of metabolic data in kinetic modeling.

SUMMARY: We present Systems Biology Metabolic Modeling Assistant (SBMM Assistant), a tool built using an ontology-based mediator, and designed to facilitate metabolic modeling through the integration of data from repositories that contain valuable metabolic information. This software can be used for the visualization, design and management of metabolic networks; selection, integration and storage of metabolic information; and as an assistant for kinetic modeling. AVAILABILITY: SBMM Assistant for academic use is freely available at http://www.sbmm.uma.es.
