Glycoside hydrolase family 32

Family of glycoside hydrolases


In molecular biology, glycoside hydrolase family 32 is a family of glycoside hydrolases EC 3.2.1., which are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of >100 different families.[1][2][3] This classification is available on the CAZy web site,[4][5] and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.[6][7]

Family 32 glycosyl hydrolases comprise two distinct domains. The N-terminal domain, which forms a five bladed beta propeller, and the C-terminal domain, which forms a beta sandwich structure.[8]
