zERExtractor: Automated Multimodal Extraction of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reaction Data

📌 Introduction

This repository contains the official implementation of zERExtractor, an automated and extensible platform for multimodal extraction of enzyme-catalyzed reaction data from scientific literature.
The system integrates tables, molecular diagrams, enzyme sequences, and experimental conditions into structured, machine-readable datasets for downstream AI-driven modeling.

🚀 Features

• ✅ Unified framework combining deep learning and large language models
• ✅ Supports tables, figures, and text extraction
• ✅ Benchmarked on 1,000+ annotated tables and 5,000 biological fields
• ✅ Achieves 89.9% accuracy on table recognition and 98%+ accuracy on molecular recognition
