Search & Identifier Tools

Search Dashboard

Explore search activity and popular queries across the VMH databases.

Open Tool

Structure Search

Find metabolites by chemical substructure using SMILES/SMARTS patterns.

Open Tool

Bulk ID Submission

Paste a list of identifiers to map and resolve them against VMH records in bulk.

Open Tool

Cross-domain explorers

Adverse event ↔ metabolism

A drug side effect → the drugs that cause it (FAERS) → the metabolic target genes they share → the subsystems and diseases behind them.

Explore

Gene expression vs the WBM

GTEx tissue expression of a gene per organ, side-by-side with where the whole-body model carries its reactions.

Explore

Microbiome × disease biomarkers

For an inherited metabolic disease, the gut microbes that metabolize its biomarker metabolite and can confound it.

Explore

Food ↔ metabolic pathways

A food's LanguaL classification, the metabolites it contributes, and the metabolic pathways they feed.

Explore

Drug interaction mechanism

The metabolizing enzymes and pharmacological targets two drugs share, from the VMH drug-metabolism reconstruction. A mechanism view — not an interaction checker.
