The proposed approach for predicting enzyme functions introduces a new method for annotating enzymes based on their catalyzed reactions. This novel approach provides detailed insights into specific reactions and is adaptable to newly discovered reactions, diverging from traditional classifications by protein family or expert-derived reaction classes. The method employs machine learning algorithms to analyze enzyme reaction datasets, delivering a refined view on the functionality of enzymes. The evaluation leverages the largest enzyme-reaction dataset to date, derived from SwissProt and Rhea databases with entries up to January 8, 2024. The approach frames the enzyme-reaction prediction as a retrieval problem, aiming to rank enzymes by their catalytic ability for specific reactions.

Enzymes are crucial for all living things because they help different biological processes happen. Scientists want to understand how these enzymes work and what they do. One way to do this is to predict the functions of enzymes based on their reactions. This paper proposes a new method for doing just that. It uses machine learning algorithms to analyze data about enzyme reactions and provides more detailed information about specific reactions. The approach can also be used to find new enzymes that can perform certain reactions and predict what reactions new proteins might be able to do.
