MACiE Mechanism, Annotation and Classification in Enzymes. MACiE Database
Enzyme Nomenclature and Classification EC Classification Class Subclass Sub-subclass Serial number
The EC Classification Reaction direction arbitrary Cofactors and active site residues ignored Doesn’t deal with structural and sequence information However, it was never intended to do so Deals with overall reaction, not mechanism
A New Representation of Enzyme Reactions? Should be complementary to, but distinct from, the EC system Should take into account: Reaction Mechanism Structure Sequence Active Site residues Cofactors Need a database of enzyme mechanisms

EC is not Everything Different mechanisms can occur with exactly the same EC number. MACiE has six beta-lactamases, all with different mechanisms but the same overall reaction.

We do see a few steps corresponding to well- known organic reactions; but these are the exception.
