Seamlesss data flow by EnzymeML, an SBML-based exchange format for the integration of enzymatic reaction data

PN 2-6

Project description

The goal of research project PN 2-6 is to establish a data management environment for biocatalytic data which

  • enables data acquisition and documentation according to FAIR data principles,
  • provides a searchable data repository for structured data, that can be searched by standardized metadata,
  • enables workflow solutions for a seamless data transfer between experiment, modelling platforms, and databases with minimal human intervention.

The core of the project is the development of EnzymeML as a standardized exchange format for biocatalytic data.
