Abstract

Chemical genomics is one of the cutting-edge research areas in the post-genomic era, which requires a sophisticated integration of heterogeneous information, i.e., genomic and chemical information. Enzymes play key roles for dynamic behavior of living organisms, linking information in the chemical space and genomic space. In this chapter, the authors report our recent efforts in this area, including the development of a similarity measure between two chemical compounds, a prediction system of a plausible enzyme for a given substrate and product pair, and two different approaches to predict the fate of a given compound in a metabolic pathway. General problems and possible future directions are also discussed, in hope to attract more activities from many researchers in this research area.
