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 See a page that's out-of-date and just needs a touch-up?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

Family Firsts
- First sterochemistry determination
- Cite some reference here, with a short (1-2 senetence) explanation [1].
- First general acid/base residue identification
- Cite some reference here, with a short (1-2 senetence) explanation [2].
- First 3-D structure
- The catalytic core domain of the Trichoderma reesei (the organism now known as Hypocrea jecorina) cellobiohydrolase II by the Jones group [3]. The first endoglucanase in this family was the Thermomonospora fusca E2 enzyme (catalytic core) solved by the Wilson/Karplus groups[4]
