The Enzyme Commission (EC) number is a unique numerical classification scheme for enzymes, based on the chemical reactions they catalyze. Established by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), the EC number provides a systematic way to categorize enzymes into groups based on their functions. An EC number consists of four digits, separated by periods, formatted as EC x.y.z.
