28 July 2015: 100 GH FAMILIES!!! We are extremely pleased to announce that today, CAZypedia has reached the key milestone of 100 Curator Approved Glycoside Hydrolase Family pages, thanks to the completion of the Glycoside Hydrolase Family 12 page by Gerlind Sulzenbacher. GH12 is one of the classic cellulase families defined in the original CAZy classification (formerly known as cellulase family H), which comprises microbial endo-glucanases and endo-xyloglucanases. The completion of this page is especially timely in advance of the upcoming The 2015 GRC on Cellulosomes, Cellulases & Other Carbohydrate Modifying Enzymes. Gerlind solved the seminal structure in this family, and we would especially like to thank her for producing a very nice summary and series of figures for the "Three-dimensional structures" section.
The Board of Curators would also like to take the opportunity of this key milestone to express our sincere gratitude to our many expert Contributors for their time and dedication to building CAZypedia as a community-based resource.
