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 See a page that's out-of-date and just needs a touch-up?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.

Welcome to CAZypedia, The Encyclopedia of Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes!
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 entry 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 Associate Curators, who are responsible for selecting expert authors and coordinating author contributions on individual pages. Selection of Associate Curators, based on their specialist expertise and ability to participate in the active maintainence of entry content, is handled by the Board of 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 and Associate Curators. However, in the spirit of community and openness, we are interested to hear from dynamic individuals willing to contribute to the project. If you would like to contribute to CAZypedia, please see Cazypedia:About.
