\title{Map Between Enzyme Commission Numbers and Manufacturer Identifiers}
\description{
  hgu95av2ENZYME2PROBE is an R environment that maps Enzyme Commission
  (EC) numbers to manufacturer identifiers.
}
\details{
  Each EC number maps to a named vector containing all of the
  manufacturer identifiers that correspond to the gene that produces that
  enzyme. The name of the vector corresponds to the EC number.
  
  Enzyme Commission numbers are assigned by the Nomenclature Committee
  of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
  \url{http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iubmb/enzyme/} to allow enzymes to be
  identified. 
  
  An Enzyme Commission number is of the format EC x.y.z.w, where x, y, z,
  and w are numeric numbers. In hgu95av2ENZYME2PROBE, EC is dropped from the
  Enzyme Commission numbers.

  Enzyme Commission numbers have corresponding names that describe the
  functions of enzymes in such a way that EC x is a more general
  description than EC x.y that in turn is a more general description than
  EC x.y.z. The top level EC numbers and names are listed below:

  EC 1 oxidoreductases
  
  EC 2 transferases

  EC 3 hydrolases

  EC 4 lyases

  EC 5 isomerases

  EC 6 ligases
