6 days ago · Online since 1998, CAZy is a specialist database dedicated to the display and analysis of genomic, structural and biochemical information on Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes).

6 days ago · Introduction Glycoside hydrolases (EC 3.2.1.-) are a widespread group of enzymes which hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates or between a carbohydrate and a …

Dec 16, 2025 · Introduction Auxiliary Activities (AA) cover redox enzymes that act in conjunction with CAZymes.

6 days ago · Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) are responsible for the synthesis and breakdown of glycoconjugates, oligo- and polysaccharides. They typically correspond to 1-5% of the genes of a …

Introduction A carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) is defined as a contiguous amino acid sequence within a carbohydrate-active enzyme with a discreet fold having carbohydrate-binding activity . A few …

Dec 16, 2025 · Introduction Polysaccharide Lyases (EC 4.2.2.-) are a group of enzymes that cleave uronic acid-containing polysaccharide chains via a β-elimination mechanism to generate an …

Dec 16, 2025 · Implemented for glycoside hydrolases, glycoside phosphorylases, transglycosidases, polysaccharide lyases and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases, CAZac allows complex searches …

Catalytic Mechanism By analogy with glycosidases, two main stereochemical outcomes exist for glycosyltransferases : inversion of the anomeric configuration (for instance UDP-glucose -> β …

Implemented for glycoside hydrolases, glycoside phosphorylases, transglycosidases, polysaccharide lyases and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases, CAZac allows complex searches in the CAZy …

They provide an evolutionary advantage to these species by orchestrating the breakdown of complex glycans thanks to the encoded CAZymes. Please note that our PUL prediction tool tends to predict …
