The BlockDiagramDialog
The BlockDiagramDialog gives a summary view of interactions with respect to a specific Species (especially Protein) and relation between its modification and activity as enzyme.
Using this block diagram editor, complex relations between Proteins can be understood at a glance and the relation between modification states enzymic activity can easily be constructed.
The BlockDiagramDialog consists of three parts:
- Edit Tool Bar
- Diagram Draw Area
- Status Table
The BlockDiagramDialog is still a prototype and user interface for editing is not fully functional.
Diagram Draw Area
Diagram Draw Area displays the following elements:
| Block | represented by a rounded square shape, indicating the target protein. The name of the protein is displayed on the upper right corner. |
| Block Area | represented by a dotted-line square. |
| Residue | represented by a circle with letters |
| BindingSite | symbol of creating heterodimer with the specified protein(s) |
| EffectSite | symbol of effect to the specified protein(s) |
| Degradation | symbol of degradation |
| Operators | represent the operation in the block. |
Edit Tool Bar
Edit Tool Bar displays the following elements:

| Residue |  |
Add selected residue by clicking on the upper side line. | ||||||
| Site Addition |  |
Add selected site (BindingSite, EffectSite, and Degradation) to the block diagram.

| Operator Addition |  |
Add Operator. Click inside the diagram. | ||||||
| Routing |   |
Connect the items in the block diagram; routings, activate/inactivate residues. To connect the items inside the diagram, click the items To add activate/inactivate residues, click the line drawn from the residue, then click on the left side of the block area. |

| Delete |  |
Delete the selected item. Caution: the items derived from the process diagram cannot be deleted. |

Print the block diagram. | |||||||
| Highlight |  |
Highlight the BindingSite, EffectSite and Degradation derived from the Process diagram. |
Status Table
Status Table shows the information derived from the Process diagram, table of the status and the activity of the Species.
| verify | CellDesigner verifies the table and the diagram if there is any conflict between the diagram drawn with routing and the operators, and reflect its results onto the table. |
| update | Update the block diagram with the data from the up-to-date process diagram. |
| apply | Fix and apply the data edited by the block diagram dialog. |
| close | Close the block diagram edit dialog. |
