Nearly all enzymes are proteins. They are the biological catalysts that accelerate the function of cellular reactions. Because of different characteristics of reaction tasks, they split into six classes: oxidoreductases (EC-1), transferases (EC-2), hydrolases (EC-3), lyases (EC-4), isomerases (EC-5), ligases (EC-6). Prediction of enzyme classes is of great importance in identifying which enzyme class is a member of a protein. Since the enzyme sequences increase day by day, contrary to experimental analysis in prediction of enzyme classes for a newly found enzyme sequence, providing from data mining techniques becomes very useful and time-saving.
