Some of the diagrams used in the reading, published here for you to work alongside as you go through your own data.
- PATHWAY PDF / A4 · 8 pp On request
Metabolic pathway maps (8 pathways)
Glutathione, folate, SAM, glutamate-GABA, biopterin, histamine, serotonin, dopamine. Genes, enzymes and cofactors, with the reactions between them, one pathway per sheet
- PATHWAY PDF / A4 · 1 p On request
Integrated map
All eight pathways on a single sheet, arranged as a hierarchy up from the foundation
- INPUT PDF / A4 · 3 pp
Environmental input maps
How sound, light and information reach the nervous system — which receptors, which routes — separated into layers
- GLOSSARY In preparation
Terminology
English terms that recur in the reading, with their Japanese equivalents, glossed only as far as is useful
Selecting a title opens the PDF. Items marked “on request” are not posted here for now; I send them to people who get in touch. The terminology list is in preparation.
These diagrams contain no individual analysis results. They are something to read alongside.
How to read the diagrams
Shape and colour
- Blue outlined ellipse
- Gene, enzyme, transporter or receptor
- Plain black text
- Metabolite
- Green text
- Cofactor or substrate
- Red text
- Harmful metabolite
- Purple text
- A factor acting to suppress that reaction
- Orange text
- A factor acting to promote that reaction
Line and direction
- Solid arrow
- The direction the reaction runs
- T-bar, crossbar at the target
- Suppresses the target
- T-bar, crossbar at the label
- Promotes the target
The T-bar is one shape; which side the crossbar sits on is what changes the direction. Suppressing factors are written in purple and promoting factors in orange, so the colour of the text tells you the same thing.
What purple and orange indicate is not a property of the term itself but its direction with respect to that reaction. The same term can appear in the opposite colour elsewhere.
