  • Chemistry mechanism of the reaction catalyzed.

  • Sequential: one product is substrate for the subsequent reaction (sequential enzymes in a pathway).

  • “+” indicates “same,” “similar” or “yes,” and “−” indicates “different” or “no”.

  • Sources: Gene and PAM value, GenProtEC; mechanism of action, BRENDA and EC nomenclature; substrate, cofactor, and pathway, EcoCyc.
