Search the EC Enzyme Database

This Web version of EC Enzyme has hot links among its own entries and to the following Databases:

• OMIM - Online Mendelain Inheritance in Man
• SWISSPROT - The Swiss Protein Database

EC Enzyme comes with a users manual that gives an extensive description of the database.

Searching:

You may search these databases using booleans (and, or, not), nested booleans, wildcards (*), and phrase searches (" "). The maximum number of results returned is currently 200.

For Example:

kinase and cAMP

Will select for entries that contain both the word kinase and the word cAMP.

Experimental: If you're feeling a bit more ambitious you can also do nested booleans - just use parenthesis to define the different parts of your search:

kinase and (serine or tyrosine) not threonine
