DESCRIPTION:Enzyme activity is essential for almost all aspects of life. W
 ith completely sequenced genomes\, the full complement of enzymes in an or
 ganism can be defined\, and 3D structures have been determined for many en
 zyme families. Traditionally each enzyme has been studied individually\, b
 ut as more enzymes are characterised it is now timely to revisit the molec
 ular basis of catalysis\, by comparing different enzymes and their mechani
 sms\, and to consider how complex pathways and networks may have evolved. 
 New approaches to understanding enzymes mechanisms and how enzyme families
  evolve functional diversity will be described.
