- Researchers gave names to the first enzymes discovered to describe their function or the material from which they isolated the enzyme. This is how names such as pepsin, trypsin, and ptyalin arose. Later, the International Union of Biochemistry (IUB) established rules for the functional classification and nomenclature of enzymes.

May 7, 2019 · In addition to the number, enzymes have names that can be systematic or descriptive and the common name is usually provided. These trivial names are often created by researchers but only the IUBMB can assign the number. For a brief summary of IUBMB nomenclature, see the IUBMB News Issue 6, 2018.

Few biochemists are excited about nomenclature and terminology and even fewer would like to admit being so. In fact, it appears to be generally believed that if it is ignored it will go away. That is, of course, until it is found to be necessary to avoid ambiguity. Although we have all encountered people who believe the oppo-site, there are compell...

Each enzyme is also given a systematic name, which had sufficient chemical information for the structure of the substrate as well as the nature of the reaction to be deduced. Systematic names consist of two parts: the first part contains the name of the substrate or, in the case of a bimolecular reaction catalysed by oxidore-ductases, transferases ...
Several of the enzyme entries are linked to diagrams that show the involvement of the enzyme in a meta-bolic pathway and/or its reaction mechanism. These diagrams were developed by H.B.F. Dixon and G.P. Moss and are now being maintained and expanded by G.P. Moss. A complete list of these is available at https://iubmb.qmul.ac.uk/enzyme/reaction/.
It used to be claimed that it took a full year to paint the Forth Bridge in Scotland and, when the end was reached, it was time to start at the beginning again. Whether maintaining and expanding the enzyme list may be compared with that, it is certainly work that is unlikely ever to reach a conclusion. The list will con-tinue to expand as new enzym...

Classification and nomenclature. Enzymes can be classified by two main criteria: either amino acid sequence similarity (and thus evolutionary relationship) or enzymatic activity. Enzyme activity. An enzyme's name is often derived from its substrate or the chemical reaction it catalyzes, with the word ending in -ase.
Enzyme Nomenclature . Enzymes are classified into six different groups according to the reaction being catalyzed. The nomenclature was determined by the Enzyme Commission in 1961 (with the latest update having occurred in 1992), hence all enzymes are assigned an “EC” number.

This is the sixth complete edition of Enzyme Nomenclature and lists 3196 enzymes. There is a brief historical introduction followed by a chapter on the principles of classification and nomenclature. The List then starts at page 23 and goes on to p 533. There follows a chapter (formerly an appendix) on the
