Abstract

The GO captures many aspects of functional annotations, but there are other alternative complementary sources of protein function information. For example, enzyme functional annotations are described in a range of resources from the Enzyme Commission (E.C.) hierarchical classification to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) to the Catalytic Site Atlas amongst many others. This chapter describes some of the main resources available and how they can be used in conjunction with GO.
