Introduction to LMDB
LMDB is a detailed database on small molecule from different livestock species. Each small molecule entry has extensive information on properties, structure, and biology. Each small molecule can have 1 or more enzymes and transporters associated. Below is a quick definition list to get you started.
- Metabolite
- A naturally occurring molecule typically under 1000 MW.
- Enzyme
- Any protein which catalyzes chemical reactions involving the small molecule.
- Transporter
- A membrane bound protein which shuttles ions, small molecules or macromolecules across membranes, into cells or out of cells.
Field Documentation and Sources
Data sources indicate the source of the information present in each field. Data sources do not indicate that all sources were used for a particular field and metabolite. Individual metabolite reference information can be found in the "General References" section of each metabolite.
Field | Description | Sources |

Creation Date | Date/time the entry was created |
|
Update Date | Date/time the entry was last updated |
|
HMDB ID (Primary Accession Number) | Unique HMDB accession number consisting of a 4 letter prefix (HMDB) and a 5 number suffix. This ID is used to access the metabolite entry via the URL. If an entry is deleted, it's HMDB ID will not be reused. |

Super Class | Second level of hierarchical classification. Metabolite with the same super class are considered structurally similar. |
|
Class | Third level of hierarchical classification. Metabolite classes form the major component of the classification system. Metabolite with the same super class are considered structurally similar. |
|
Sub Class | Fourth level of hierarchical classification. Metabolite with the same class are considered structurally similar. |
|
Substituents | Fifth level of hierarchical classification. Metabolite functional groups and substructures. |
|
Direct Parent | A direct parent in the taxonomy is the most descriptive chemical class a chemical entity can be attributed to. It is generated by taking into account the largest substructure (which characterizes a given chemical class) of the biomolecule and the most descriptive attributes. |
