The Zephyris/Sandbox2 Portal

Welcome to the Metabolism portal.

metabolic pathways

for ease of study.

Metabolism is a field within biochemistry and molecular biology.

A summary of the major metabolic pathways. Major compounds are shown in black text in white boxes, and metabolic pathways are shown as text links.

Things you can do

There is still a lot of work to do on Wikipedia's metabolism articles.

Visit the

Metabolic Pathway Wikiproject page to see what needs doing to the wide range of metabolism-related articles, images and templates. In particular the roadmap

for article development may be of interest.

On the more general front, the

Molecular and Cellular Biology

Wikiproject may also have projects of interest.
