The Enzyme Portal: an integrative tool for enzyme information and analysis.

ABSTRACT

Enzymes play essential roles in all life processes and are used extensively in the biomedical and biotechnological fields. However, enzyme-related information is spread across multiple resources making its retrieval time-consuming. In response to this challenge, the Enzyme Portal has been established to facilitate enzyme research, by providing a freely available hub where researchers can easily find and explore enzyme-related information. It integrates relevant enzyme data for a wide range of species from various resources such as UniProtKB, PDBe and ChEMBL. Here, we describe what type of enzyme-related data the Enzyme Portal provides, how the information is organized and, by show-casing two potential use cases, how to access and retrieve it.
