The rapid rise in DNA sequencing has led to an expansion in the number of glycoside
hydrolase (GH) families. The GH43 family currently contains α-l-arabinofuranosidase, β-d …

Abstract Background The large Glycoside Hydrolase family 5 (GH5) groups together a wide
range of enzymes acting on β-linked oligo-and polysaccharides, and glycoconjugates from a …

Glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 16 comprises a large and taxonomically diverse family of
glycosidases and transglycosidases that adopt a common β-jelly-roll fold and are active on a …

Glucose, xylose, and N-acetylglucosamine are elementary building blocks for disaccharides,
oligomers, and polymers, as well as key molecules allowing fine modifications of many kinds …

Organization of glycoside hydrolase (GH) families into clans expands the utility of
information on catalytic mechanisms of member enzymes. This issue was examined for …

Reflecting the diverse chemistry of plant cell walls, microorganisms that degrade these
composite structures synthesize an array of glycoside hydrolases. These enzymes are …

In this work glycosyl hydrolase (GH) family 30 (GH30) is analyzed and shown to consist of its
currently classified member sequences as well as several homologous sequence groups …

Currently, the relatively high cost of enzymes such as glycoside hydrolases that catalyze
cellulose hydrolysis represents a barrier to commercialization of a biorefinery capable of …

Xylan is the most abundant hemicellulose in nature and as such it is a huge source of
renewable carbon. Its bioconversion requires a battery of xylanolytic enzymes. Of them the …

Endo-β-1, 4-xylanases (xylanases), which cleave β-1, 4 glycosidic bonds in the xylan
backbone, are important components of the repertoire of enzymes that catalyze plant cell …
