Biological nomenclature

International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Nomenclature Committee, 1992. Enzyme Nomenclature. New York Academic Press. A reference volume and glossary on die official classification and nomenclature of enzymes. 

An appropriate nomenclature has been recommended by the Commission for Biological Nomenclature of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and by the International Union of Biochemistry [15], but this approach has not been always accepted in the literature [16]. 

This enzyme is known by two names, adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1)- its official name from the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Nomenclature Committee or its alternative name, adenylyl cyclase. 

The nomenclature of biochemical compounds is in large measure a part of organic nomenclature. However, it has its own special problems, arising partiy from the fact that many biochemical compounds must be given names before their chemical stmctures have been fully determined, and partiy from the interest in grouping them according to biological function as much as to chemical class.

The lUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (13) recommends that the term vitamin B 2 be used as the genetic descriptor for aU. cottiaoids exhibiting quaUtatively the biological activity of cyanocobalamin. However, because of its commercial importance, cyaaocobalamin is used iaterchangeably with vitamin B 2 heteia.
