| description | Many glycoside hydrolases are modular proteins composed of catalytic modules appended to one or more non-catalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). CBMs bind to a range of polysaccharides that include crystalline cellulose and hemicelluloses such as glucan, xylan, mannan, and glucomannan. The main function of CBMs is to increase the catalytic efficiency of the enzymes against soluble and/or insoluble substrates by bringing the catalytic module into prolonged and intimate contact with its substrate.This entry represents the family 31 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM31) of beta-1,3-xylanase [].Beta-1,3-xylan is a homopolymer of b-1,3-linked D-xylose and is a polysaccharide peculiar to marine algae. Beta-1,3-xylanase is a beta-1,3-xylan hydrolyzing enzyme []. |
