Please add synonym and DBXref to EC.

for GO:0009978 Synonym: Hydroperoxide dehydratase.

DBXref: EC:4.2.1.92 Comments: Acts on a number of unsaturated fatty-acid hydroperoxides, forming the corresponding allene oxides.

Since 'hydroperoxide dehydratase activity ; GO:0047987' already exists, I have added a MetaCyc dbxref to the term but I haven't added the EC number since GO:0047987 already has it. Thanks, Amelia.

Why do we have 2 terms when both of them are the same ? Ref: http://us.expasy.org/cgi-bin/nicezyme.pl?4.2.1.92

If you look at the reactants and products, you'll see that the reactions are different.

You could argue that these reactions are the same since it's the same mechanism at work on target molecules that differ slightly away from where the catalytic action is occurring. That is reasonable enough, but then you have to ask where you draw the line. The trouble with EC is that its terms don't necessarily represent GO functions - although for many EC terms do map to a single GO function, there are others that describe a gene product rather than an activity.
