The Enzyme Commission number ('''EC number''') is a Numerical Classification scheme for Enzyme s, based on the Chemical Reaction s they Catalyze . As a system of enzyme nomenclature, every EC number is associated with a recommended name for the respective enzyme. FORMAT OF NUMBER Every enzyme code consists of the letters "EC" followed by four numbers separated by periods. Those numbers represent a progressively finer classification of the enzyme. For example, the Tripeptide Aminopeptidase s have the code "EC 3.4.11.4", whose components indicate the following groups of enzymes:
