摘要

This book represents the printed version of the enzyme data information system BRENDA-now a "full metabolic database"-which was created in 1987 in Braunschweig, Germany. There are ~5000 enzymes listed, which are arranged according to the Enzyme Commission list of enzymes. Where appropriate, each entry provides information under the following categories: Nomenclature; Source Organism; Reaction and Specificity; Enzyme Structure; Isolation/Proparation/Mutation/Application; Stability; and Reference. A short list of abbreviations and an index of recommended enzyme names open the book.
