Biological pathway
Encyclopedia
A biological pathway is a number of biochemical steps, linked together, with a start and an end. The activity within a pathway should is a flow of molecules. Some typical types of biochemical pathways are metabolic pathway
s and signaling pathways. The Reactome

Metabolic pathway
In biochemistry, metabolic pathways are series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell. In each pathway, a principal chemical is modified by a series of chemical reactions. Enzymes catalyze these reactions, and often require dietary minerals, vitamins, and other cofactors in order to function...

Reactome is a database of biological pathways. There are several Reactomes that concentrate on a specific organism, the largest of these is focused on human biology, but includes pathway steps inferred to exist in humans based on experimental data from model organisms and pathways computationally...
