Enzyme systematic numbering

Concise, basic enzyme data is recorded for some 800 enzymes including the Enzyme Commission number, trivial name, systematic name, reaction catalyzed, equilibrium constant, molecular weight, specific activity, specificity, Michaelis constants, inhibitors, light absorption data, and references. Where required, conditions, source, etc. are specified.

A-17 According to lUB system enz)mies are grouped in six major classes. Each with sub classes based on the t) e of reaction catalyzed. Systemic classification of enzymes based on numbering system is used. Each enzyme is assigned a code number or EC (enzyme commission number) four-digit classification number and a systematic name, which identifies the reaction catalyzed.

The pathways of deoxyribonucleotide synthesis from ribonucleotides are summarized below. The trivial names of the enzymes of ribonucleotide reduction are as follows ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase ribonu-cleoside triphosphate reductase thioredoxin reductase. Enzyme Commission numbers and systematic names have not yet been assigned. 

The 1964 Recommendations of the International Union of Biochemistry are in general followed for the names of enzymes. The Recommended Trivial Names are used in the text. At the ends of most chapters tables give the trivial name, systematic name, and Enzyme Commission number of the principal enzymes discussed. The commonly accepted names of those enzymes not yet listed systematically by the Enzyme Commission have been used. 

Hence, its systematic name is L-ascorbate oxygen oxidoreductase, and its systematic number is E.C. 1.1.10.3.3 (cf. Formula 2.3). The systematic names are often quite long. Therefore, the short, trivial names along with the systematic numbers are often convenient for enzyme designation. Since enz3mies of different biological origin often differ in their properties, the source and, when known, the subcellular fraction used for iso-... 

Enzymes are classified in terms of the reactions which they catalyse and were formerly named by adding the suffix ase to the substrate or to the process of the reaction. In order to clarify the confusing nomenclature a system has been developed by the International Union of Biochemistry and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (see Enzyme Nomenclature , Elsevier, 1973). The enzymes are classified into divisions based on the type of reaction catalysed and the particular substrate. The suffix ase is retained and recommended trivial names and systematic names for classification are usually given when quoting a particular enzyme. Any one particular enzyme has a specific code number based upon the new classification. 

Systematic cell degradation and death, apoptosis, on the other hand, is thought to be necessary to avoid cell damage accumulating so as to cause incorrect differentiation. The process is very complicated involving activation of a number of destructive enzymes where once more increase in cell calcium often initiates the hydrolyses using special internal calcium-dependent enzymes, calpains (see Demaurex in Further Reading). 

All enzymes already mentioned, except oligo-D-galactosiduronate hydrolase, are included in the Enzyme Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB Enzyme Commission,11 and their code numbers and suitably modified, systematic names are used herein. 

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, 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. 

DERIVATION OF MORE COMPLICATED RATE EQUATIONS. So far, the rate equations that describe one-substrate enzyme systems have been fairly simple, and the usual algebraic manipulations of substitution and/or addition of simultaneous equations have permitted us to obtain the pertinent rate law. When the number of steps increases and especially when there are branched pathways involved, these manual methods become cumbersome, and more systematic procedures are required. The next two sections should allow the reader to develop a working knowledge of effective methods for obtaining multisubstrate enzyme rate expressions. 

Now we apply the systematic method to Scheme 5b by assigning node numbers to the enzyme species and write down the node values ...
