BRENDA (BRaunschweig ENzyme DAtabase) is the world's most comprehensive enzyme information system, containing detailed enzyme data from scientific literature. Query kinetic parameters (Km, kcat), reaction equations, substrate specificities, organism information, and optimal conditions for enzymes using the official SOAP API. Access over 45,000 enzymes with millions of kinetic data points for biochemical research, metabolic engineering, and enzyme discovery. This skill should be used when: Searching for enzyme kinetic parameters (Km, kcat, Vmax) Retrieving reaction equations and stoichiometry Finding enzymes for specific substrates or reactions Comparing enzyme properties across different organisms Investigating optimal pH, temperature, and conditions Accessing enzyme inhibition and activation data Supporting metabolic pathway reconstruction and retrosynthesis Performing enzyme engineering and optimization studies Analyzing substrate specificity and cofactor requirements Access comprehensive kinetic data for enzymes: Get Km Values by EC Number: Parse Km Results: Extract Specific Information: Retrieve reaction equations and details: Get Reactions by EC Number: Process Reaction Data:
