Expanding the Enzyme Toolbox for Biocatalysis

摘要

T he Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology maintains a database of enzymes (http://www.enzyme-database.org) for the enormous task of classifying and categorizing the 5174 currently identified distinct enzymatic activities by using guidelines established by the Enzyme Commission (EC). This database is filled with enzymes that have not been explored for utilization of their unique catalytic activities.
