This page will present a brief history of the events leading to the genesis of CAZypedia.
Right now, it's just a list, which can be developed further. All CAZypedians are welcomed to contribute and correct any errors and omissions.
- July 2006
- The idea to produce a comprehesive encyclopedia of carbohydrate-active enzymes as a printed volume is raised by Prof. Bruce Stone at the XXIIIrd International Carbohydrate Symposium in Whistler, Canada (July 23-28). Among others, ^^^Steve Withers^^^, ^^^Gideon Davies^^^, ^^^David Vocadlo^^^, and ^^^Harry Brumer^^^ were involved in this informal discussion.
- April 2007
- In a group discussion at the 7th Carbohydrate Bioengineering Meeting held in Braunschweig, Germany (April 22–25, links: 1, 2) the suggestion was put forward that Bruce's encyclopedia might be better served online, due to the rapid nature of developments in the field. "CAZypedia" was suggested as a dynamic, wiki-based solution to this issue.
- May 2007
- ^^^Harry Brumer^^^ begins setting-up CAZypedia using the Mediawiki software that runs [Wikipedia.
- 30 July 2009
- CAZypedia is presented at the 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Cellulosomes, Cellulases & Other Carbohydrate Modifying Enzymes by ^^^Harry Brumer^^^.
