I am doing a reasearch on enzyme nomenclature and need help on 2 concepts tht I am stuck on, they are the class of enzymes and the types of reactions. This is University Level work.

 

If anyone can put some examples here that be great.

 

thx in advance

Here's a site with a lil help. I'm taking Bio 121 and I'm only 16.

EC 1.12.1 With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor

 

 

Contents

EC 1.12.1.1 now EC 1.18.99.1

EC 1.12.1.2 hydrogen dehydrogenase

EC 1.12.1.3 hydrogen dehydrogenase (NADP+)

[EC 1.12.1.1 Transferred entry: now EC 1.18.99.1 hydrogenase (EC 1.12.1.1 created 1965, deleted 1972)]

 

EC 1.12.1.2

 

Accepted name: hydrogen dehydrogenase

 

Reaction: H2 + NAD+ = H+ + NADH

 

Other name(s): H2:NAD+ oxidoreductase; NAD-linked hydrogenase; bidirectional hydrogenase; hydrogenase

 

Systematic name: hydrogen:NAD+ oxidoreductase

 

Comments: An iron-sulfur flavoprotein (FMN or FAD). Some forms of this enzyme contain nickel

Basically, they classify it on what it reacts with and how it reacts with it.

Hey, I posted on here a while back, but I discovered it was much easier than I thought. Our project is almost done it it's pretty neat the way proteins form.
