Bio::Tools::ECnumber - representation of EC numbers (Enzyme Classification)

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : new
Usage : $EC1 = Bio::Tools::ECnumber->new( -ec_string => "4.3.2.1" );
or
$EC2 = Bio::Tools::ECnumber->new( -ec_string => "4.3.2.2",
-comment => "Is EC 4.3.2.2" );
or
$EC3 = Bio::Tools::ECnumber->new(); # EC3 is now "-.-.-.-"
Function: Creates a new ECnumber object.
Parses a EC number from "x.x.x.x", "EC x.x.x.x",
"ECx.x.x.x", or "EC:x.x.x.x";
x being either a positive integer or a "-".
Returns : A new ECnumber object.
Args : A string representing a EC number, e.g. "4.3.2.1"
or "EC 4.3.2.1" or "1.-.-.-".
Title : init() Usage : $EC1->init(); # EC1 is now "-.-.-.-" Function: Initializes this ECnumber to default values. Returns : Args :
Title : copy()
Usage : $EC2 = $EC1->copy();
Function: Creates a new ECnumber object which is an exact copy
of this ECnumber.
Returns : A copy of this ECnumber.
Args :
Title : EC_string
Usage : $EC3->EC_string( "1.1.1.-" );
or
print $EC3->EC_string();
Function: Set/get for string representations of EC numbers.
Parses a EC number from "x.x.x.x", "EC x.x.x.x",
"ECx.x.x.x", or "EC:x.x.x.x";
x being either a positive integer or a "-".
Returns : A string representations of a EC number.
Args : A string representations of a EC number.
Title : to_string()
Usage : print $EC3->to_string();
Function: To string method for EC numbers
(equals the "get" functionality of "EC_string").
Returns : A string representations of a EC number.
Args :
Title : is_equal
Usage : if ( $EC3->is_equal( $EC2 ) )
or
if ( $EC3->is_equal( "1.1.1.-" ) )
Function: Checks whether this ECnumber is equal to the argument
EC number (please note: "1.1.1.1" != "1.1.1.-").
Returns : True (1) or false (0).
Args : A ECnumber object or a string representation of a EC number.
Title : is_member
Usage : if ( $EC1->is_member( $EC5 ) )
or
if ( $EC1->is_member( "4.3.-.-" ) )
Function: Checks whether this ECnumber is a member of the (incomplete)
argument EC number (e.g. "1.1.1.1" is a member of "1.1.1.-"
but not of "1.1.1.2").
Returns : True (1) or false (0).
Args : A ECnumber object or a string representation of a EC number.
Title : enzyme_class
Usage : $EC1->enzyme_class( 1 );
or
print $EC1->enzyme_class();
Function: Set/get for the enzyme class number of ECnumbers.
Returns : The enzyme class number of this ECnumber.
Args : A positive integer or "-".
Title : sub_class
Usage : $EC1->sub_class( 4 );
or
print $EC1->sub_class();
Function: Set/get for the enzyme sub class number of ECnumbers.
Returns : The enzyme sub class number of this ECnumber.
Args : A positive integer or "-".
Title : sub_sub_class
Usage : $EC1->sub_sub_class( 12 );
or
print $EC1->sub_sub_class();
Function: Set/get for the enzyme sub sub class number of ECnumbers.
Returns : The enzyme sub sub class number of this ECnumber.
Args : A positive integer or "-".
Title : serial_number
Usage : $EC1->serial_number( 482 );
or
print $EC1->serial_number();
Function: Set/get for the serial number of ECnumbers.
Returns : The serial number of this ECnumber.
Args : A positive integer or "-".
Title : comment
Usage : $EC1->comment( "deprecated" );
or
print $EC1->comment();
Function: Set/get for a arbitrary comment.
Returns : A comment [scalar].
Args : A comment [scalar].
