The Enzyme Commission number consists of the letters "EC" followed by four numbers separated by a special character, where those numbers represent a progressively finer classification of the enzyme, like the EC 3 where the enzymes are hydrolases, and EC 3.4 are hydrolases that act on peptide bonds.
