We’re excited to announce the latest BRENDA database publication in the Nucleic Acids Research - Database Issue. This release highlights significant updates and new features developed as part of the DSMZ Digital Diversity. Discover how BRENDA continues to evolve as a leading global resource for enzyme information.
A first prototype of a knowledge graph has been released and is now accessible through a newly established SPARQL endpoint: https://sparql.dsmz.de/brenda.
A new Pathway Summary Page has been developed, accessible via links on enzyme and ligand summary pages as well as through the overview map. Each page organizes key information into distinct tabs for clarity and ease of use. An example is the Entner–Doudoroff pathway.
Dr. Antje Jäde has been appointed as a new member of the STRENDA commission (Beilstein Institute) this year. STRENDA stands for “Standards for Reporting Enzymology Data” (standards for reporting on enzymological data).
The JSON download file for Release 2024.1 is now online, featuring an optimized and updated format. The download is available here: https://www.brenda-enzymes.org/download.php. Please refer to the JSON schema documentation for details on the format change.
We are happy and proud to welcome our new BRENDA team member. Mathias has more than 20 years of experience in database and software development and will be an important member of the BRENDA IT in the future.
