ENZYME
The ENZYME database is a repository of information relative to the
nomenclature of enzymes. It is primarily based on the recommendations
of the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB),
and it contains the following data for each type of characterized
enzyme for which an EC (Enzyme Commission) number has been provided:
- EC number
- Recommended name
- Alternative names (if any)
- Catalytic activity
- Cofactors (if any)
- Pointers to the Swiss-Prot protein sequence entrie(s) that
correspond to the enzyme (if any)
- Pointers to human disease(s) associated with a deficiency of the
enzyme (if any)
We believe that the ENZYME database can be useful to anybody working
with enzymes and that it can be of help in the development of computer
programs involved with the manipulation of metabolic pathways.
