New families are created based on published evidence for the activity of at least one member of the family and all families are regularly updated, both in content and in description.Īn original aspect of the CAZy database is its attempt to cover all carbohydrate-active enzymes across organisms and across subfields of glycosciences. New genomes are added regularly shortly after they appear in the daily releases of GenBank. Online since 1998, CAZy is a specialist database dedicated to the display and analysis of genomic, structural and biochemical information on Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes).ĬAZy data are accessible either by browsing sequence-based families or by browsing the content of genomes in carbohydrate-active enzymes. Three-year postdoctoral position in enzymology The CAZy database describes the families of structurally-related catalytic and carbohydrate-binding modules (or functional domains) of enzymes that degrade, modify, or create glycosidic bonds.
