BRENDA (BRaunschweig ENzyme DAtabase) is the world's most comprehensive online database for functional, biochemical and molecular biological data on enzymes, metabolites and metabolic pathways. It contains data on the properties, function and significance of all enzymes classified by the Enzyme Commission of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) classified enzymes. As ELIXIR Core Data Resource, BRENDA is considered a data resource of critical importance to the international life sciences research community. The database compiles a representative overview of enzymes and metabolites using current research data from primary scientific literature and thus serves the purpose of facilitating information retrieval for researchers. BRENDA is subject to the terms of the Creative Commons license (CC BY 4.0), is accessible worldwide and can be used free of charge.^[1] As one of the digital resources of the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures, BRENDA is part of the integrated biodata infrastructure DSMZ Digital Diversity.
