Get KEGG reactions

Description

In KGML, the pathway element specifies one graph object with the entry elements as its nodes and the relation and reaction elements as its edges. The relation elements are saved as edges in objects of KEGGPathway-class, and the reactions elements are saved as a slot of the object, which can be retrieved with the function getReactions.

Regulatory pathways are always viewed as protein networks, so there is no 'reaction' information saved in their KGML files. Metabolic pathways are viewed both as both protein networks and chemical networks, hence the KEGGPathway-class object may have reactions information.

Methods

object = "KEGGPathway"

An object of KEGGPathway-class
