CAZy is a database of Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes (CAZymes).

lignocellulose.[8]

CAZy was established in 1999 in order to provide online and constantly updated access to the

The CAZy database is coupled with CAZypedia, which was launched in 2007 as a research community-driven, wiki-based encyclopedia of CAZymes.[13]

Classification

CAZy identifies evolutionarily related families of glycosyl hydrolases using the classification introduced by Bernard Henrissat.

Glycosyl hydrolase family 1 contains enzymes that possess a TIM barrel fold. These families are clustered into 14 different clans that share structural similarity. CAZy contains 94 families of Glycosyl transferase enzymes,[4] 22 families of polysaccharide lysases[5]
and 16 families of carbohydrate esterases.
