CAZypedia needs your help!
We have many unassigned pages in need of Authors and Responsible Curators. See a page that's out-of-date and just needs a touch-up? - You are also welcome to become a CAZypedian. Here's how.
Scientists at all career stages, including students, are welcome to contribute.

31 January 2018: A flurry of CBM activity in the new year: Over the past two weeks, CAZypedia has enjoyed the promotion of no less than nine Carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) family pages to Curator Approved status, thanks to the tenacity of CBM vanguard Harry Gilbert and the keen editorial oversight of Elizabeth Ficko-Blean. In order of appearance, CBM2, CBM10, CBM15, CBM29, CBM66, CBM60 (co-authored by Cedric Montanier), CBM46, and CBM35 all have completed pages, as does the deleted family CBM7. These pages cover many classic CBM studies and include examples of type A, type B, and type C CBMs. The CBM legacy runs deep - learn more about each family on their respective pages.
26 November 2017: CBM #1: Today, CBM pioneer Markus Linder completed the Carbohydrate Binding Module Family 1 page. CBM1 comprises the canonical fungal cellulose-binding modules (originally known as cellulose-binding domains), which were first found as stable cystine-knot-containing protein fragments released by controlled proteolysis of cellulases. The planar nature of the substrate-binding face, and linear arrangement of key aromatic residues, represent the archetype of CBMs that mediate glycosidase targeting to crystalline polysaccharides. Building on the original discovery of the modules now classified into CBM1 in Sweden, Markus Linder (then a Ph.D. student) and Tuula Teeri, working together across the Baltic Sea in Finland, were among the first to undertake structure-function studies and protein engineering of CBM1 using modern molecular techniques in the mid- to late-1990s. We're pleased to finally have this one in CAZYpedia - learn more about this seminal CBM family here.
11 October 2017: Ten years of CAZypedia! We are proud to announce the publication of a new article in Glycobiology in celebration of CAZypedia's tenth anniversary online. This article was written on behalf of all of present and future Contributors by Curators Harry Brumer and Spencer Williams, with input from a number of key individuals involved in the genesis of CAZypedia (see the Acknowledgements section for full details). A post-print version of the manuscript will be freely available from the UBC Library Open Collections, in addition to the final version on the Glycobiology website. Thanks to the hard work of a multitude of Contributors, CAZypedia is a successful example of community-driven, expert-based biocuration. We look forward to the continued development of this resource over the next ten years - and beyond!
10 September 2017: Sussing-out starch recognition in CBM58. We are excited to report that Nicole Koropatkin has completed the Carbohydrate Binding Module Family 58 page today. CBM58 constitutes a comparatively small family of CBMs found in bacteria in the phylum Bacteroidetes, including key members of the human gut microbiota such as Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. Within these bacteria, CBM58 modules are found inserted within the GH13 catalytic module of SusG, the essential outer-membrane-bound amylase of the starch utilization system (sus). Nicole’s seminal structural biology has defined the family and provided insight into the recognition of amylose helices by CBM58 members in SusG homologs. Read more about this fascinating system here.
