Description
O-Glycosyl hydrolases (
3.2.1.) 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 glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 85 different families
[2, 1]. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) website.
