Welcome to CAZypedia
The Encyclopedia of Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes!
Now containing 350 articles!

Cazypedia logo big.png


CAZypedia has been initiated as a community-driven resource to assemble a comprehensive encyclopedia of the enzymes and binding proteins involved in the synthesis and degradation of complex carbohydrates. CAZypedia is inspired by, and closely connected with, the actively curated CAZy Database.

Principles of CAZypedia. CAZypedia is built on authoring and editing principles similar to those of the expert-based online encyclopedia Citizendium. All contributors to CAZypedia, from the Authors to the Board of Curators, are selected experts in the field. Transparency is achieved through the use of contributors' real names, and each contributor wears their scientific credentials on their sleeve via a published biography in CAZypedia. Individual entries in CAZypedia are managed by Responsible Curators, who are responsible for selecting expert Authors and coordinating author contributions on individual pages. Selection of Responsible Curators, based on their specialist expertise and ability to participate in the active maintainence of entry content, is handled by the Senior Curators. More information on CAZypedia's content and editorial policies is available here.

At its inception, contributors to CAZypedia will generally be invited by the Board of Curators. However, in the spirit of community and openness, we are interested to hear from dynamic individuals willing to act as Responsible Curators or Authors. If you are interested in contributing to the CAZypedia project, please read Cazypedia:About and then contact the Board of Curators.


Dedication

CAZypedia is dedicated to the late Prof. Bruce Stone, whose enthusiasm to create a comprehensive encyclopedia of carbohydrate-active enzymes was essential in the genesis of this project.
