The Enzyme Commission number (EC number) is a numerical classification scheme for enzymes, based on the chemical reactions they catalyze. [1] As a system of enzyme nomenclature, every EC number is associated with a recommended name for the corresponding enzyme-catalyzed reaction. EC numbers do not specify enzymes but enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
This list contains a list of sub-classes for the seventh group of Enzyme Commission numbers, EC 7, translocases, placed in numerical order as determined by the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. All official information is tabulated at the website of the committee. [1]
Enzymes are listed here by their classification in the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's Enzyme Commission (EC) numbering system: Category:Oxidoreductases (EC 1) ( Oxidoreductase )
The enzyme was discovered at the public-review stage to have been misclassified and so was withdrawn. See EC 4.2.1.133, copal-8-ol diphosphate hydratase;
Each enzyme is described by "EC" followed by a sequence of four numbers which represent the hierarchy of enzymatic activity (from very general to very specific). That is, the first number broadly classifies the enzyme based on its mechanism while the other digits add more and more specificity. [21] The top-level classification is:
As ATP is not hydrolysed during the reaction, the classification of the enzyme as a ligase was incorrect; EC 6.3.5.9: hydrogenobyrinic acid a,c-diamide synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing) EC 6.3.5.10: adenosylcobyric acid synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing) EC 6.3.5.11: cobyrinate a,c-diamide synthase; EC 6.3.5.12: Ni-sirohydrochlorin a,c-diamide ...
This list contains a list of EC numbers for the third group, EC 3, hydrolases, placed in numerical order as determined by the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Enzymes appear in the subcategory Category:Enzymes by function according to the EC number classification: EC 1 Oxidoreductases: catalyze oxidation/reduction reactions; EC 2 Transferases: transfer a functional group (e.g. a methyl or phosphate group) EC 3 Hydrolases: catalyze the hydrolysis of various bonds
