This website features the Enzyme Structures Database, created by researchers Roman Laskowski and Andrew Wallace of the University College London. The database "contains the known enzyme structures that have been deposited in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (the PDB)." As of March 2003 the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank contained 10208 PDB-enzyme entries "involving 9873 separate PDB files - some files having more than one E.C. number associated with them. The enzyme structures are classified by their E.C. number (using the Mar 2003 v.30.0 release of the ENZYME Data Bank)." There are six classified groups of enzyme structures including Oxidoreductases, Transferases, and Hydrolases. This site also links to the PDBsum database which provides users an alternate means of accessing enzyme structures.
