Background As a rule, about 1% of genes in a given genome encode glycoside hydrolases
and their homologues. On the basis of sequence similarity they have been grouped into …

Glycoside hydrolases catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages in carbohydrates. The
glycoside hydrolase family 31 (GH31) contains α‐glucosidase, α‐xylosidase, α …

Glycoside hydrolase family 31 (GH31) proteins have been reportedly identified as exo-α-
glycosidases with activity for α-glucosides and α-xylosides. We focused on a GH31 …

The GH101 family is composed of endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidases and their
homologues. Pairwise sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis allowed us to …

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 …

In this work we report a detailed analysis of the topology and phylogenetics of family 2
glycoside hydrolases (GH2). We distinguish five topologies or domain architectures based …

Carbohydrate-active enzymes are involved in the degradation, biosynthesis, and
modification of carbohydrates and vary with the diversity of carbohydrates. The glycoside …

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 …

Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are diverse enzymes of biotechnological and medical
importance. Bioinformatics contributes to our understanding of GH structure and function in …

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