description: MetaCyc is a curated database of experimentally elucidated metabolic
  pathways from all domains of life. MetaCyc contains 2526 pathways from 2844 different
  organisms. MetaCyc contains pathways involved in both primary and secondary metabolism,
  as well as associated metabolites, reactions, enzymes, and genes. The goal of MetaCyc
  is to catalog the universe of metabolism by storing a representative sample of each
  experimentally elucidated pathway.
