31 October 2025: A spooktacular addition to the CAZypedia family! Come and say 'Boo!' to the frighteningly well written CBM13 CAZypedia page. The CBM13 family is a lectin-like CBM family. Its first characterized members were lectins, including the B chain from the highly toxic ricin toxin from Ricinus communis. This spine tingling read was authored by Scott Mazurkewich and Lauren McKee who also acted as responsible curator. Come and visit the scariest of CAZypedia CBM pages, here!... if you dare...

29 July 2025: CBM91 is in the news! The xylan binding CBM91 family CAZypedia page is up and running. Appended to mainly GH43 xylanases this CBM91 family drives interaction with substrate. The CBM91 page was authored by Daichi Ito who also discovered the initial xylan-binding function which resulted in the creation of the CBM91 CAZy family. Read up on this industrially interesting CBM91 family here.

-'''25 October 2024:''' ''Laminariawesome!'' Check out two new marine families of CBMs, '''[[CBM102]]''' and '''[[CBM103]]''', now on ''CAZypedia'' which have an ecological role in bacterial degradation of laminarin during phytoplankton blooms.  Some function as surface glycan binding proteins but others have roles in targeting their appended catalytic modules to substrate.  Both pages were [[author]]ed by '''[[User:Marie-Katherin Zuehlke|[[User:Marie-Katherin Zuehlke|Marie-Katherin Zühlke]]'''.

-'''19 July 2024:''' ''Chalk-up one more for the GTs!'' The '''[[Glycosyltransferase Family 47]]''' page joined the small group of [[Curator Approved]] [[Glycosyltransferase Families]] pages in ''CAZypedia'' today. This entry was [[author]]ed by Ph.D. students '''[[User:Daniel Tehrani|Daniel Tehrani]]''' and '''[[User:Charlie Corulli|Charlie Corulli]]''', and [[Responsible Curator|Curated]] by '''[[User:Breeanna Urbanowicz|Breeanna Urbanowicz]]''' with input from '''[https://ccrc.uga.edu/team/kelley-moremen/ Kelley Moremen]'''.  Widely represented in plants, '''[[GT47]]''' members are anomer-[[inverting]] [[glycosyltransferases]], which are involved in the biosynthesis of several cell wall matrix polysaccharides.  Representatives from mammals are involved in heparin biosynthesis.  Correspondingly, members of [[GH47]] have diverse substrate specificities, including the transfer of both anionic and neutral monosaccharides to polysaccharides.  ''This is a great example where two keen Ph.D. students worked with their supervisors to create a valuable page for the scientific community. We encourage others to follow their lead, on your favorite family!''

Today, '''[[User:Masahiro Nakajima|Masahiro Nakajima]]''' [[Curator Approved]] the '''[[Glycoside Hydrolase Family 186]]''' page by '''[[User:Sei Motouchi|Sei Motouchi]]'''. '''[[GH186]]''' is a family of anomer-[[inverting]] enzymes from bacteria, members of which are specific for beta-1,2-glucans.  Intriguingly, although some [[GH186]] members work as classic [[glycoside hydrolases]], others perform transglycosylation by wrapping the sugar chain around in the active-site, to position the 6-OH group of a terminal glucosyl unit for direct attack.  Also notable, [[GH186]] members appear to use an extended chain of water molecules to relay acceptor deprotonation by the [[general base]] residue, ''i.e.'' a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotthuss_mechanism Grotthuss mechanism]. ''Check out the '''[[GH186]]''' page to learn more about these interesting enzymes, and make sure to see the [[GH189]], [[GH144]], and [[GH162]] pages from this same group.''

-'''2 May 2024:''' ''CBDs I to X... A major milestone!'' '''CBM families 1 to 10 are now complete!''' These are the old CBD (cellulose-binding domain) families, which used to have roman numerals as part of their nomenclature. A special thank you to all the authors and responsible curators who have contributed to this major milestone. Go have a peek at each of these old school families on their respective ''CAZypedia'' pages: '''[[CBM1]], [[CBM2]], [[CBM3]], [[CBM4]], [[CBM5]], [[CBM6]], [[CBM7]], [[CBM8]], [[CBM9]], and [[CBM10]]'''.
