Enzyme Nomenclature, Recommendations, 1972. Announcement

Current IUBMB recommendations on enzyme nomenclature and kinetics

[email protected] Abstract The International Union of Biochemistry (IUB, now IUBMB) prepared recommendations for describing the kinetic behaviour of enzymes in 1981. Despite the more than 30 years that have passed since these have not subsequently been revised, though in various respects they do not adequately cover current needs. The IUBMB is also responsible for recommendations on the naming an...

Invited review: Culling: nomenclature, definitions, and recommendations.

Replacing cows on a dairy is a major cost of operation. There is a need for the industry to adopt a more standardized approach to reporting the rate at which cows exit from the dairy, and to reporting the reasons why cows are replaced and their destination as they exit the dairy. Herd turnover rate is recommended as the preferred term for characterizing the cows exiting a dairy, in preference t...

Recommendations on nomenclature of the order Mycoplasmatales.

Visualization based on the Enzyme Commission nomenclature.

We developed a tool for visualizing data related to protein function, based on the nomenclature defined by the International Enzyme Commission. The method represents the 1327 specific reaction types and three additional levels of abstract classifications in the nomenclature as an interactive graph. Each node and link in the graph can have associated with it stored or computed data values of var...

History of the enzyme nomenclature system

Naming things is essential for people to understand one another, no matter what language or field of interest is involved. This is as true for enzymes, genes and chemicals as it is for birds, food, flowers, etc. Effective communication requires a lack of ambiguity, but, in practice, ambiguities abound even between people who use the same language in different parts of the world, or even within ...
