Ten years of CAZypedia: a living encyclopedia of carbohydrate-active enzymes

Ten years of CAZypedia: a living encyclopedia of carbohydrate-active enzymes

CAZypedia Consortium. Glycobiology. .

Abstract

CAZypedia was initiated in 2007 to create a comprehensive, living encyclopedia of the carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and associated carbohydrate-binding modules involved in the synthesis, modification and degradation of complex carbohydrates. CAZypedia is closely connected with the actively curated CAZy database, which provides a sequence-based foundation for the biochemical, mechanistic and structural characterization of these diverse proteins. Now celebrating its 10th anniversary online, CAZypedia is a successful example of dynamic, community-driven and expert-based biocuration. CAZypedia is an open-access resource available at URL http://www.cazypedia.org.

Keywords: biocuration; bioinformatics; carbohydrate-active enzymes; glycobiology; glycoscience.
