Type: | Domain | Name: | Beta-galactosidase trimerisation |
Description: | O-Glycosyl hydrolases () 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 glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 85 different families [, ]. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) web site.This is non catalytic domain B of beta-galactosidase enzymes belong to the glycosyl hydrolase 42 family. This domain is related to glutamine amidotransferase enzymes, but the catalytic residues are replaced by non functional amino acids. This domain is involved in trimerisation. | Short Name: | Beta_galactosidase_Trimer |
