Here, we present MetaBridge, a tool that collates protein interactors (curated metabolite-enzyme interactions) that influence the levels of specific metabolites including both biosynthetic and degradative enzymes. This enables network-based integrative analysis of metabolomics data with other omics data types. MetaBridge is designed to complement a systems-biology approach to analysis, pairing well with network analysis tools such as NetworkAnalyst.ca, but can be used in any bioinformatics workflow.
