Meet the Family

So you've just proposed to the glycogen binding enzyme and now its time to meet the family!

Here are the classes that characterize GBE:
Enzymes
 2. Transferases
   2.4 Glycosyltransferases
     2.4.1 Hexosyltransferases
       2.4.1.18 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme

This gives GBE an EC (enzyme commission number) of 2.4.1.18. Note that each number of the EC leads to a finer enzyme classification.

Remember this from the notes Dr Zhu provided? Well apparently the "class", on the left hand side of the table is the first type of characterization in this system. Cool. (Or maybe its just me who didn't make this Biochemistry-Bioinformatics link haha)
