PROSITE documentation PDOC01027 |
It has been shown [1,2,E1] that the following glycosyl hydrolases can be, on the basis of sequence similarities, classified into a single family:
These enzymes require NAD and a divalent ion for their activity. They are proteins of about 50 Kd. As a signature pattern we selected a conserved region located in the central section. This region does not contain residues directly shown to be important for the catalytic activity.
