Enzyme (Ec Number) - Description Mapping

Question

[Khader Shameer]

I am looking for a tab-delimited text file for enzyme ID and it's description. I have several enzyme ids like this

1.7.99.1 
1.14.13.39

I would like to retrieve their respective enzyme names as follows.

1.7.99.1 hydroxylamine reductase
1.14.13.39 nitric-oxide synthase

Please let me know if you know about such a file available for download. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: None of these databases provides such an index file, but this can be easily obtained parsing the ID and DE records from enzyme.dat file suggested by Lars. Brenda also provides this information with greater detail. All answers are great pointers, I will select best answer as the one with max. votes by tomorrow.

Answer 1

[Lars Juhl Jensen]

I would suggest that you download the ENZYME flatfile from ExPASy. It is very easy to parse and provides precisely the information that you ask for.

[Khader Shameer]

Thanks Lars, ID & DE is the information I am looking for.

[Lars Juhl Jensen]

Yes, I should have been nice and explicitly said that ;-)

Answer 2

BRENDA would probably be a good source (especially for accepted names).

[Khader Shameer]

I will check Brenda.

[Khader Shameer]

Registering to Brenda was tough. But I got the data finally. Brenda provides different categories of names in a comprehensive way.

try KEGG ftp://ftp.genome.jp/pub/kegg/ligand/enzyme/enzyme

Thanks Pierre. I need to get the accepted name from the list of NAME(s). Any idea which one from the list of NAME(s) could be the accepted name ?
