CAZy (Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes) - "The CAZy database describes the families of structurally-related catalytic
and carbohydrate-binding modules (or functional domains) of enzymes that degrade,
modify, or create glycosidic bonds." (Architecture et Fonction des Macromolécules Biologiques, Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique, France)

MEROPS - The Peptidase Database - "The MEROPS database is an information resource for peptidases (also
termed proteases, proteinases and proteolytic enzymes) and the proteins that
inhibit them." (Neil D. Rawlings, Fraser R. Morton and Alan J. Barrett,
Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge, UK)
SABIO Reaction Kinetics Database - "The SABIO-RK (System for the Analysis of Biochemical Pathways - Reaction Kinetics) is a web-based application based on the SABIO relational database that contains information about biochemical reactions, their kinetic equations with their parameters, and the experimental conditions under which these parameters were measured."
