BRENDA is a collection of enzyme functional data available to the scientific community. Data on enzyme function are extracted directly from the primary literature The database covers information on classification and nomenclature, reaction and specificity, functional parameters, occurrence, enzyme structure and stability, mutants and enzyme engineering, preparation and isolation, the application of enzymes, and ligand-related data.

This resource is a provider. This means that while it may have its own prefix, it actually reuses the identifiers provided by the ec prefix. For all use cases, you should use ec instead of brenda.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in BRENDA Enzyme should match this regular expression:
^((\d+\.-\.-\.-)|(\d+\.\d+\.-\.-)|(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.-)|(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+))$

Example Local Unique Identifier

1.1.1.1   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from BRENDA Enzyme should match this regular expression:
^brenda:((\d+\.-\.-\.-)|(\d+\.\d+\.-\.-)|(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.-)|(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+))$

Example CURIE

brenda:1.1.1.1

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 mappings to external registries for this resource with 4 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier 1.1.1.1 is used to demonstrate the providers available for BRENDA Enzyme. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
