Carbohydrate Binding Module Families

This pages 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.

The Lexicon entry Carbohydrate-binding modules contains an introduction and overview of these non-catalytic, accessory modules, which are often found in train with other CAZyme modules, e.g. Glycoside Hydrolases and Polysaccharide Lyases [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. The classification of CBMs mirrors that of the CAZy database [7, 8, 9].

Note (May 2013): We just beginning to develop individual CBM pages in CAZypedia at this point, although a long-term goal is to have complete coverage of all of the CBM families represented in the CAZy database. This effort is being led by ^^^Alicia Lammerts van Bueren^^^, together with the Senior Curators. If you would like to become involved in the development of the CBM pages, please contact ^^^Alicia Lammerts van Bueren^^^ directly, or using this form.

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 55 Curator approved Carbohydrate Binding Module (CBM) Family pages in CAZypedia.

Under construction

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.

• CBM11
• CBM18
• CBM61
• CBM74
• CBM85
• CBM91

Unassigned pages

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 directly, or via this form.

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.

Deleted families

The following families have been deleted from the CAZy database. Please see the individual CAZypedia pages and links to the corresponding CAZy DB pages for specific explanations.

There are currently 2 pages in CAZypedia that describe Carbohydrate Binding Module families deleted from the CAZy DB.
