Catalytic definitions

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Dear Jeff,

Source for the definitions is the Gene Ontology database. This database provides 
definitions, based on references cited from scientific reports/paper/reviews 
published in peer reviewed journals. Additionally, if the term/vocabulary is for 
an enzyme and has a EC number associated with it, then the definition such as 
the one cited by you is extracted from the Enzyme Commission's database at 
http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb/enzyme/.

Sincerely
Pankaj
