This page lists all the Carbohydrate Binding Module (CBM) Family pages in CAZypedia that have been given Curator Approved status, as well as those that are currently under construction.
Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are non-catalytic proteins with the capacity to bind to soluble and crystalline carbohydrates. CBMs are typically found within a longer protein sequence, co-occurring with catalytic modules of carbohydrate active enzymes, e.g. Glycoside Hydrolases and Polysaccharide Lyases, where they serve to enhance the catalytic activity of the enzymatic module(s) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. For a comprehensive overview, see the Carbohydrate-binding modules Lexicon page.
Curator Approved
These pages have been approved by the Responsible Curator as essentially complete. CAZypedia is a living document, so further improvement of these pages is still possible; please see the individual pages for more information.
There are currently 65 Curator approved Carbohydrate Binding Module (CBM) Family pages in CAZypedia.
These pages are currently under construction in CAZypedia. As such, the Responsible Curator has deemed that the page's content is not quite up to CAZypedia's standards for full public consumption. All information on these pages should therefore be considered to be under revision and may be subject to major changes.
There are currently 6 Carbohydrate Binding Module Family pages under construction in CAZypedia.
The following Unassigned pages are currently lacking a Responsible Curator and one or more Authors. If you are an expert on any of these families and would like to help us improve CAZypedia by getting involved with the production and maintenance of the corresponding page(s), please contact a member of the Board of Curators.
All CBM Family pages not listed above are currently unassigned. Please contact us if you'd like to get involved with the creation of these pages. Undergraduate students, (post)graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, research associates, and professors are all welcomed to contribute!
