Classification of Terpene Biosynthesis

Criteria and manual classification of diagrams of terpene biosynthetic pathways

• project manager Vaishnavi Jha

• actions

• Communal discussion on Slack of suggested features/columns
• restrict to about 4-8 columns

**Classification of pathway **

features/columns for communal analysis of diagrams

Output: Pathway or Non-Pathway

        Metabolic      Genetic    Signal 
     
 
 Terpene        Non-Terpene

Basic Key elements: Basic form of terpene is: isoprene Two pathway: Melvonate and MEP leads to formation of IPP —>DMAPP —> Terpenoid

Steps for classification: Step1: Analyse if there’s any terpene (if yes) Step 2: Precursor’s DMAPP ← IPP is present (if yes) Step 3: Any Mevalonate or MEP Pathway is present (if yes) Output: Terpene Pathway
