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
• Pointers to the UniProtKB/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. Click here to see a sample entry.
