Figure 1

Representation of a pathway using the BIND data-model. Each letter represents a molecular object such as DNA, RNA, protein, complex or small molecule. A simple interaction record (dotted box) describes an interface between two molecular objects. This paper focuses on information extraction for this type of record. Interaction records may describe a new molecule(s) created as a result of the interaction (dashed box). Molecular results of one interaction record can become the interactors in subsequent interaction records. In this way, multiple interaction records can be strung together to describe a biological pathway (solid box).
