Announcement of a new enzyme class
The IUBMB Nomenclature Committee has added a new class of enzymes to the Enzyme classification and nomenclature list that was first approved by the International Union of Biochemistry in 1961, Translocases (EC 7). This represents an important update that will impact textbooks of enzymology and basic biochemistry.
