This category links to specific Glycoside Hydrolase (GH) families. The Lexicon entry Glycoside Hydrolases contains an introduction and overview to this class of enzymes. The classification mirrors that of the CAZy database [1], which itself is based on the sequence-based families of glycoside hydrolases as described in [2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
