Usage Notes

An enzyme activity (ie. asparagine synthetase that uses L-aspartic acid and L-glutamine) is NOT evidence for that enzyme binding those substrates. The activity should be assigned to the corresponding molecular function term only. To show the binding of a substrate, such as L-aspartic acid or L-glutamine, the authors must provide evidence for a direct binding event of the natural substrate or an analog. For an example of a gene product annotated to amino acid binding, see asnB:Gene Product(s) in EcoliWiki.
