Glycoside hydrolasesEC3.2.1. are a widespread group of enzymes that
hydrolyse the
glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of >100 different families.[1][2][3] This classification is available on the
CAZy web site,[4][5] and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.[6][7]
Glycoside hydrolase family 66
CAZY GH_66 includes enzymes with cycloisomaltooligosaccharide glucanotransferase
EC2.4.1.248 and dextranase
EC3.2.1.11 activities.[8][9]
