All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<CatalysisDirectionType>

public enum CatalysisDirectionType
extends java.lang.Enum<CatalysisDirectionType>

This enum represents the direction of a catalysis under all physiological conditions if there is one. Note that chemically a catalyst will increase the rate of the reaction in both directions. In biology, however, there are cases where the enzyme is expressed only when the controlled bidirectional conversion is on one side of the chemical equilibrium. olled bidirectional conversion is on one side of the chemical equilibrium. For example E.Coli's lac operon ensures that lacZ gene is only synthesized when there is enough lactose in the medium. If that is the case and the controller, under biological conditions, is always catalyzing the conversion in one direction then this fact can be captured using this property. If the enzyme is active for both directions, or the conversion is not bidirectional, this property should be left empty.

Method Detail

values

public static CatalysisDirectionType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (CatalysisDirectionType c : CatalysisDirectionType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CatalysisDirectionType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
