Family Firsts

First 3-D structure

The first solved structure of a CE15 enzyme was the Cip2 catalytic domain from Trichoderma reesei (TrGE) [1].

First mechanistic insight

The crystal structure of StGE2 (from Sporotrichum thermophile) in complex with the ligand 4-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranuronate gave the first direct insight into substrate binding [2].
