== Overview ==
 
−
 
 
−
Glycoside hydrolases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the glycosidic linkage of glycosides, leading to the formation of a simple sugar and the corresponding alglycon. Glycoside hydrolases are also referred to as glycosidases. Glycoside hydrolases are known that can catalyze the hydrolysis of O-, N- and S-linked glycosides.

== Classification ==

−
Glycoside hydrolases can be classified in many different ways. The following paragraphs list several different ways, the utility of which depends on the context in which the classification is made and used.
 
−
 
 
−
''exo''- and ''endo''- refers to the ability of a glycoside hydrolase to cleave a substrate at the end (most frequently, but not always the non-reducing end) or within the middle of a chain. For example, most cellulases are ''endo''-acting, whereas LacZ β-galactosidase from ''E. coli'' is ''exo''-acting.
