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 See a page that's out-of-date and just needs a touch-up?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

Three-dimensional structures
The structure of BT0996 comprises a single domain which is a five bladed β-propeller fold. Each blade is composed of three to four anti parallel β-strands that extend out radially from the central core. The final blade is formed by strands from both the N- and C-terminus of the protein which is termed as 'molecular velcro' and is believed to add considerable stability to the fold.
Family Firsts
- First stereochemistry determination
- Not Known.
- First catalytic nucleophile/base identification
- Inferred to be Glu159 in BT0996 [3].
- First general acid/base residue identification
- Inferred to be Glu240 in BT0996[3].
- First 3-D structure
- The first structure determination for GH137 was of BT0996 from the organism Bacteroides thetaiotaomicon[3].
