ok guys,

if you are not aware, look up BIND on the net. This is written by
Christopher Hogue's group (yes, the same would has writtn chapter in the
Baxevanis text Bioinformatics).

his web site is at the Samuel Lunenfield institute in Toronto, Ontario (sp?)
on the web, and there is a paper explaining how it works on the sire. It is
easy to find with www.google.com


the BIND data model works very well, and it involves interactions that can
be between protein:protein, protein:molecule, protein:photon, etc.

And so the pathway can be then built from all these interactions.

I heavily suggest that you have a good look at the BIND model, since like
genbank, will become the standard public archive for molecular interactions
and pathway data
