Definitions of enzyme function for the structural genomics era

Curr Opin Chem Biol. 2003 Apr;7(2):230-7. doi: 10.1016/s1367-5931(03)00028-0.

Abstract

Questions are being asked about how enzyme function is described at the molecular level and the strengths and weaknesses of the EC system for this purpose. A new approach to describing enzyme function has been proposed that might improve our capabilities for functional inference for members of enzyme superfamilies.
