Abstract
MOTIVATION: In the available databases, biological processes are described from molecular and cellular points of view, but these descriptions are represented with text annotations that make it difficult to handle them for computation. Consequently, there is an obvious need for formal descriptions of biological processes.Entities:

Fig. 1.Multi-scale description of the glycolysis pathway represented with Celldesigner (Funahashi et al., 2008). As an example, enolase is an enzyme composed of two domains (c.1.11 and d.54.1) and the domain c.1.11 contains the substrate binding site (residues 155, 164, 287, 314, 339 and 390 in red) and the active site (residues 205 and 339 in blue).
