MACiE: a database of enzyme reaction mechanisms

Bioinformatics. 2005 Dec 1;21(23):4315-6. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bti693. Epub 2005 Sep 27.

Abstract

Summary: MACiE (mechanism, annotation and classification in enzymes) is a publicly available web-based database, held in CMLReact (an XML application), that aims to help our understanding of the evolution of enzyme catalytic mechanisms and also to create a classification system which reflects the actual chemical mechanism (catalytic steps) of an enzyme reaction, not only the overall reaction.
