Background

A Metabolite data node in WikiPathways is used to depict a metabolite, small molecule or drug.

Your Mission

Draw the Metabolite depicted in this figure:

  • Launch PathVisio and select File > New to start a new pathway. Close the Pathway attributes dialog.
  • In the upper left of the canvas, the Pathway Information area will be displayed, and will say "Title: New Pathway". Select this by clicking on it, and in the Properties tab select "Homo sapiens" in the Species menu.
  • Select Metabolite from the Data Node palette in the Objects tab.
  • Click on the canvas to place the node.
  • Double-click on the node to open its properties.
  • Search for “glucose”. Choose any of the entries that represents an exact match for “glucose”, and choose identifier type from either ChEBI, LIPIDMAPS, PubChem, CAS (in that order of priority).
  • To select an identifier, click once to highlight the row in the results list, and then click OK. Alternatively, double-click on the row.
  • Click OK again to close the node properties window.
  • Done!
  • Save your work as a GPML file under File > Save As.
