Enzymes

BRENDA

  • A collection of enzyme functional data available to the scientific community.

Enzyme Nomenclature Database

  • A repository of information relative to the nomenclature of enzymes.

Mechanism and Catalytic Site Atlas

  • Provides annotation on the protein, catalytic residues, cofactors, and the reaction mechanisms of hundreds of enzymes.

Worthington Enzyme Manual

  • Contains technical information on enzymes including molecular weight, composition, activators, specificity, inhibitors, stability, assay method, optimum pH, ionic effects, temperature effects, extinction coefficient, and isoelectric point, as well as applications and extensive references.

Structure
