BRENDA Database

--- name: brenda-database description: "Access BRENDA enzyme database via SOAP API. Retrieve kinetic parameters (Km, kcat), reaction equations, organism data, and substrate-specific enzyme information for biochemical research and metabolic pathway analysis." --- # BRENDA Database ## Overview BRENDA (BRaunschweig ENzyme DAtabase) is the world's most comprehensive enzyme information system, containing detailed enzyme data from scientific literature. Query kinetic parameters (Km, kcat), reaction equations, substrate specificities, organism information, and optimal conditions for enzymes using the official SOAP API. Access over 45,000 enzymes with millions of kinetic data points for biochemical research, metabolic engineering, and enzyme discovery. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - Searching for enzyme kinetic parameters (Km, kcat, Vmax) - Retrieving reaction equations and stoichiometry - Finding enzymes for specific substrates or reactions - Comparing enzyme
