Enzymes are classified in a numerical classification scheme introduced by the Nomenclature Committee of the IUBMB based on the overall reaction chemistry. Due to the manifold of enzymatic reactions the system has become highly complex. Assignment of enzymes to the enzyme classes requires a detailed knowledge of the system and manual analysis. Frequently rearrangements and deletions of enzymes and sub-subclasses are necessary.
