EFI - Enzyme Similarity Tool

This web resource is supported by a Research Resource from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (R24GM141196-01).

The tools are available without charge or license to both academic and commercial users.

Update of EFI Tools

The EFI Tools are being upgraded on 10/26/26. The site will not be available from 10/23-10/26 for maintenance.

While the updated site is functionally identical to the old site, jobs run prior to that date will only be available through the results link in the finalization email (not the Previous Jobs tab). User accounts created on the old site will no longer be available, and users are encouraged to create new accounts when the upgraded site becomes available.
