''CAZypedia'' has been initiated as a community-driven resource to assemble a comprehensive encyclopedia of the "CAZymes," the [[Carbohydrate-active enzymes|<u>c</u>arbohydrate-<u>a</u>ctive en<u>zymes</u>]] and associated [[carbohydrate-binding modules]] involved in the synthesis and degradation of complex carbohydrates.  ''CAZypedia'' is inspired by, and closely connected with, the actively curated [http://www.cazy.org CAZy Database]. It's probably fair to say that CAZypedians are, like our friends at the [http://www.cazy.org CAZy DB], a group of [http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.0020142 "biocurators."]<br>
<div class="mainPageSubline">''If you are new to the CAZyme classification, [https://doi.org/10.1042/BIO03004026 "Sorting the Diverse"] by Professors Gideon Davies and Michael Sinnott (''The Biochemist'', 2008, vol. 30, part 4, pp. 26-32) provides an excellent introduction and historical perspective.''</div>
