Annotated enzyme list

Only the enzymes mentioned in this atlas are listed here, from among the more than 2000 enzymes known. The enzyme names are based on the iUBlVlB s of dal Enzyme nomenclature 1992. The additions shown in round brackets belong to the enzyme name, while prosthetic groups and other cofactors are enclosed in square brackets. Common names of enzyme groups are given in italics, and trivial names are shown in quotation marks.

The paperback atlas concludes with a series of schematic metabolic charts (pp. 407-419). These plates, which are not accompanied by explanatory text apart from a brief introduction on p.406, show simplified versions of the most important synthetic and degradative pathways. The charts are mainly intended for reference, but they can also be used to review previously learned material. The enzymes catalyzing the various reactions are only indicated by their EC numbers. Their names can be found in the systematically arranged and annotated enzyme list (pp. 420-430). 

In addition to the enzyme name, we also usually give its EC number. The annotated enzyme list (pp.420ff) includes all of the enzymes mentioned in this book, classified according to the Enzyme Catalog system. 

In addition, at each step the four-figure EC number (see p. 88) for the enzyme responsible for a reaction is given in italics. The enzyme name and its systematic classification in the system used by the Enzyme Catalogue are available in the following annotated enzyme list (pp. 420-430), in which all of the enzymes mentioned in this book are listed according to their EC number. The book s index is helpful when looking for a specific enzyme in the text. 

In this reaction, one molecule of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (metabolite 1) and one molecule of CO2 (metabolite 2) give rise to two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (metabolite 3). The enzyme responsible has the EC number 4.1.1.39. The annotated enzyme list shows that this refers to ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase ( rubisco for short). Rubisco belongs to enzyme class 4 (the lyases) and, within that group, to subclass 4.1 (the car-boxy-lyases). It contains copper as a cofactor ([Cu]). 

Enzyme Commission list and recommendations (revised and annotated by E. C. Webb, Brisbane, Queensland)... 

A comprehensive list of all annotated transport proteins is freely available online on the TCDB website (http //www.tcdb.org). This Transporter Classification Database uses an International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (lUBMB) approved system of nomenclature for transport protein classification. The TC system is analogous to the Enzyme Commission (EC) system for classification of enzymes, except that it incorporates both functional and phylogenetic information (Saier et al., 2006 Saier et al., 2009).
