Thermodynamics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions--a database for quantitative biochemistry

Bioinformatics. 2004 Nov 1;20(16):2874-7. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bth314. Epub 2004 May 14.

Abstract

The Thermodynamics of Enzyme-catalyzed Reactions Database (TECRDB) is a comprehensive collection of thermodynamic data on enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The data, which consist of apparent equilibrium constants and calorimetrically determined molar enthalpies of reaction, are the primary experimental results obtained from thermodynamic studies of biochemical reactions. The results from approximately 1000 published papers containing data on approximately 400 different enzyme-catalyzed reactions constitute the essential information in the database. The information is managed using Oracle and is available on the Web.
