About

SBGN bricks are defined as the recurring biological paterns reflected in the SBGN languages: metabolic reaction, catalysis, inhibition, protein phosphorylation, complex formation, transcription, translation etc. The dictionary of SBGN bricks aligns biological concepts with their graphical expressions.
