This page is currently under construction. This means that the Responsible Curator has deemed that the page's content is not quite up to CAZypedia's standards for full public consumption. All information should be considered to be under revision and may be subject to major changes.
Mention here all major natural ligand specificities that are found within a given family (also plant or mammalian origin). Certain linkages and promiscuity would also be mentioned here if biologically relevant.
Note: Here is an example of how to insert references in the text, together with the "biblio" section below: Please see these references for an essential introduction to the CAZy classification system: [1, 2]. CBMs, in particular, have been extensively reviewed [3, 4, 5, 6, 7].
Structural Features
Content in this section should include, in paragraph form, a description of:
Features of ligand binding: Describe CBM binding pocket location (Side or apex) important residues for binding (W, Y, F, subsites), interact with reducing end, non-reducing end, planar surface or within polysaccharide chains. Include examples pdb codes. Metal ion dependent. Etc.
Functionalities
Content in this section should include, in paragraph form, a description of:
Functional role of CBM: Describe common functional roles such as targeting, disruptive, anchoring, proximity/position on substrate.
Most Common Associated Modules: 1. Glycoside Hydrolase Activity; 2. Additional Associated Modules (other CBM, FNIII, cohesin, dockerins, expansins, etc.)
Novel Applications: Include here if CBM has been used to modify another enzyme, or if a CBM was used to label plant/mammalian tissues? Etc.
Family Firsts
First Identified
Insert archetype here, possibly including very brief synopsis.
First Structural Characterization
Insert archetype here, possibly including very brief synopsis.
