ParseGeneric {brendaDb} | R Documentation

## Generic parser for a description string.

### Description

Descriptions are generally structured as the following:

- Protein information is included in '#'...#',

- Literature citations are in '<...>',

- Commentaries in '(...)', and

- field-special information in '...'.

This function separates these fields into different columns.

### Usage

    ParseGeneric(description, acronym)

### Arguments

`description` | A description string from one of the entries.
`acronym` | The acronym of the field. Can be found with `ShowFields()`.

### Details

The `description` column contains values extracted by BRENDA in each field.

The `fieldInfo` column contains different information in different fields:

- In a `SYNONYMS` entry, it is either the source of the identifier, or part of the description (a false positive).

- In `KM_VALUE`, `TURNOVER_NUMBER` entries, it's the corresponding substrate.

### Value

A `tibble` with columns: proteinID, description, fieldInfo, commentary, and refID
