EC Rigor
EC Rigor provides a stricter enzyme annotation signal than broad enzyme-class triage.
What It Does
The oracle prioritizes more specific enzyme-function hypotheses from sequence. It is designed for users who want a more conservative EC readout before deeper review.
Why It Matters
Specific enzyme annotation can guide pathway reconstruction, enzyme discovery, and experimental planning. False positives can be costly, so a stricter readout helps separate broad hints from candidates worth closer inspection.
Intended Use
Use EC Rigor when a workflow needs a conservative enzyme-function hypothesis and the next step is orthogonal confirmation.
Limitations
EC Rigor does not certify catalytic activity or substrate identity. Confirm important predictions with sequence search, active-site analysis, structural context, literature review, and biochemical assays.
Try EC Rigor
Run predictions with this model through the Synthyra platform.
