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 See a page that's out-of-date and just needs a touch-up?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

Carbohydrate Binding Module Families

From CAZypedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This pages lists all the Carbohydrate Binding Module (CBM) Family pages in CAZypedia that have been given Curator Approved status, as well as those that are currently under construction.

Several key reviews provide a comprehensive overview of the structure and function of these non-catalytic, accessory modules, which are often found in train with other CAZyme modules, e.g. Glycoside Hydrolases and Polysaccharide Lyases [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The classification of CBMs mirrors that of the CAZy database [6].

Note (May 2013): We just beginning to develop individual CBM pages in CAZypedia at this point, although a long-term goal is to have complete coverage of all of the CBM families represented in the CAZy database. This effort is being led by ^^^Alicia Lammerts van Bueren^^^, together with the Senior Curators. If you would like to become involved in the development of the CBM pages, please contact ^^^Alicia Lammerts van Bueren^^^ directly, or using this form.

Curator Approved

Approve icon-50px.png

These pages have been approved by the Responsible Curator as essentially complete. CAZypedia is a living document, so further improvement of these pages is still possible; please see the individual pages for more information.

There are currently 63 Curator approved Carbohydrate Binding Module Family pages in CAZypedia.

Under construction

Under construction icon-blue-48px.png

These pages are currently under construction in CAZypedia. As such, the Responsible Curator has deemed that the page's content is not quite up to CAZypedia's standards for full public consumption. All information on these pages should therefore be considered to be under revision and may be subject to major changes.

There are currently 8 Carbohydrate Binding Module Family pages Under construction in CAZypedia.
