MetNetMaker: a free and open-source tool for the creation of novel metabolic networks in SBML format.

Unlabelled: An application has been developed to help with the creation and editing of Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) format metabolic networks up to the organism scale. Networks are defined as a collection of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) LIGAND reactions with an optional associated Enzyme Classification (EC) number for each reaction. Additional custom reactions can be defined by the user.

A kinetic analysis of DNA ejection from tailed phages revealing the prerequisite activation energy.

All tailed bacteriophages follow the same general scheme of infection: they bind to their specific host receptor and then transfer their genome into the bacterium. DNA translocation is thought to be initiated by the strong pressure due to DNA packing inside the capsid. However, the exact mechanism by which each phage controls its DNA ejection remains unknown.
