The current link doesn't work.
I'm sorry, one more thing - why is EC number required? Not all enzymes must necessarily have EC number assigned.
Another thing, not related, but maybe could you help. There is new EC class 7. That means that many enzymes have been re-assigned and thus their EC numbers shall be changed by some BOT. Could anybody help with it?

I have updated the EC number link (first link in infobox) so that it works again. Is there a list of EC number that have been transferred to EC class 7? With a list, it should be straight forward to have a bot update these infoboxes. Most of the associated databases are searchable by EC number, so if you have an EC number, linking to these databases is much easier. The EC number is not strictly required, but if one is available, the rest of the infobox links are automatically activated. Without the EC number, none of these other links are displayed.

Change AMIGO link from http://amigo.geneontology.org/cgi-bin/amigo/go.cgi?query={{{GO_code}}}&view=details to http://amigo.geneontology.org/amigo/term/GO:{{{GO_code}}} Artoria2e5🌉20:53, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Artoria2e5 and The wub: Something that I may have done recently was going to the Template:Infobox_enzyme/testcases page and attempting to access some of the template's external links in a Web browser. I may have been considering (among other things) as to whether there were any HTTP URLs that would redirect to an HTTPS URL. Another thing I did was entering some of the template's external links, one at a time, into the httpstatus tool to see if a URL would generate one or more redirects. Of particular interest is if a URL generates one or more HTTP 301 (Moved Permanently) redirects. I recently changed the template use HTTPS when generating an ExPASy link. --Elegie (talk) 09:31, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As ExplorEnz is the official IUBMB-curated database (and is always more up-to-date than Expasy etc.) it seems to me that it should be linked from the enzyme template. I'm hesitant to fiddle about with the template myself, as I don't want to break the thousands of articles that call it, and in any case maybe as it's protected I can't edit it even if I want to.
The table would then have ExplorEnz in the left-hand column, and ExplorEnz entry EC1.1.1.1 in the right-hand column (for alcohol dehydrogenase). Would that be easy to implement? Athel cb (talk) 08:59, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think it was independent, but it's a curious coincidence that both came up more or less simultaneously. Anyway, thanks for the pointer to the discussion on WT:MOLBIO, which I was unaware of until today. I'll add my comments to that. (I did so already this morning, but my browser crashed in the middle of the operation.) Athel cb (talk) 08:05, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for dealing with the infobox. I wasn't aware of this guideline. As there are a huge number of pages where this is violated (not only by me, with links to ExplorEnz, but others to Expasy that were there already), it'll take a while to remove them all. However, I'll do this. Athel cb (talk) 11:03, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is no problem with the individual enzyme pages (apart from the fact that there are an enormous number of them to deal with). The external links can go. However, I'm more worried about the index pages, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_EC_numbers_(EC_4). Here you will find a list of 810 enzymes. For each entry, such as
clicking on the first link will take you to the relevant ExplorEnz entry; the second (if there is one) will take you to the corresponding Wikipedia page (if there is one). Removing the first link will make it much more difficult for users to find the ExplorEnz entry, and I suspect that many won't bother. However, it's important that they be encouraged to consult the up-to-date IUBMB-approved information, so it needs to be easy. For the moment, therefore, until the administrators send around a hit squad, I don't plan to remove these. Note that many of the individual pages don't seem to have been updated since 2007, and that the index pages don't have infoboxes (and it's not easy to see how they could.)

Hi all, I noticed that the template includes a CAS number for each enzyme... however, I haven't been able to find a single enzyme with a CAS link that actually works. We might need to change the template so that the a link is generated to some other database (maybe PubChem?) instead of to cas.org, since that doesn't seem to be working.
