Since its constitution in 2004, the Beilstein-Institut has supported the STRENDA Commission, an international panel of experts from diverse fields including biochemistry, bioinformatics, and theoretical biology. The Commission is dedicated to improving the reporting and standardization of data in enzymology and biocatalysis. To achieve this, our work is organized into dedicated working groups, where members focus on specific topics before presenting their findings to the full STRENDA Commission for discussion. These working groups are open to everyone, and we welcome anyone with an interest in our mission to join and contribute their expertise.
