There is a huge amount of metabolic data available, stored as pathways. These pathways are made up of a network of chemical compounds, enzymes and (most important) the connections between these components. This enables the resolution of all possible chemical reactions between metabolites. The aim of v.o.m.p. is the development of an offline-application (independent of any network connection) for dynamic visualization of pathways imported from public pathway databases, thus providing the user with a powerful tool for metabolic research. This will lead to a better understanding of the nuts and bolts of metabolism and therefore life itself.
