BiSSCat Help Page
[Help page HOME] [Show all]
The text-search option is located at the top of the homepage and can be used to search for: - any term for compounds, functional groups, substructures and enzymes,
- molecular formulae of compounds, functional groups or substructures
- EC numbers and other IDs registered in BiSSCat.
One can use the text-search option to search the whole of BiSSCat or one can limit the search to compound, FGROUP, enzyme, reaction or SUBSTRUCTURE by selecting the item of interest from the drop-down menu. There are also alphabetically ordered lists of all FGROUPs, compounds and enzymes.
Examples:
The SUBSTRUCTURE database was constructed using data on the structures of 10,046 and 247,617 chemical compounds derived from the KEGG and NCI databases, respectively, in MDL Molfile format. For convenience, the original database IDs assigned to compounds have not been changed, so that they can be used to link to the corresponding data in the source databases. Each chemical compound entry has an automatically generated interactive SVG image, which can be used to find the substructure of interest.
- If you cannot see the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image, then install the SVG plugin, which can be downloaded from Adobe.
- How to manipulate the SVG image?
- To zoom-in or out on an image, right-click (or Ctrl-click, for single-button mouse users).
- The large SVG images shown from the COMPOUND pages are interactive. Clicking anywhere on a compound leads one to the corresponding substructure (VICI or BOND) pages (1). Other substructures (CONJ, FRAG, RING and SKEL) are highlited when your mouse is in the bottom-left corner of the interactive SVG image. Clicking anywhere on an image leads one to the corresponding substructure pages (2).
- We recommend that you do not use the web browser Camino as the interactive SVG image can shut down unexpectedly using this browser.

Click 'Help' (1), then the help page will be seen. The 'Help' box is white while you are looking at the help page. Click '[Show all]' in the help page (2) in order to see all contents of the help page.
You will find the corresponding help page whenever you click the 'Help' box. For example, click 'FGROUP' (3) and click 'Help' (4), you will see the help page for FGROUP. Clicking the 'Help' box while seeing the help page leads one to the top of the help page. Clicking one of the other boxes while seeing the help page leads one to the corresponding page (not the help page) (5).
