Gene Ontology (GO)
"GO terms are assigned based on the molecular function of the enzyme, the biological process that it acts in, and the cellular compartment where the enzyme is located. "
BRENDA
Resource for enzyme information. Browse by Enzyme Commission number using the EC Explorer ("...a numerical classification scheme for enzymes, based on the chemical reactions they catalyze.")
ChemSpider
"ChemSpider is a free chemical structure database providing fast text and structure search access to over 32 million structures from hundreds of data sources."
