A recent article by the CAZy team [1], defines and describes in an extended manner:
(i) the catalytic mechanisms covered by the PL classification;
(ii) the know PL activities and how these are distributed in the present PL families;
(iii) the diversity of folds exhibited in structurally characterized PL families;
(iv) the new layer of PL subfamilies that has been defined throughout the PL families.

The CAZy Team welcomes you to the new site!
We have entirely redesigned the http://www.cazy.org site to accommodate the growing size of families. We also have designed a new logo, and now provide more interactivity in the display of information associated with each family.
In each family a new tab is now available, ’Characterized’, which lists those individual CAZymes that we believe have been experimentally characterized. Of course and despite our efforts, this information is probably incomplete or sometimes erroneous. Please contact us if you find something wrong so that we provide the best possible information. For missing experimental characterization please send an electronic copy or appropriate link to the support material (article(s), thesis, database, etc), to cazy@afmb.univ-mrs.fr.

New Search and Sorting Features
One can search for CAZY Family pages using the Protein Accession (Genpept Accession, Uniprot Accession or PDB ID), Cazy family name or EC number. In addition, genomes can be searched using the NCBI TaxID. This search can be complemented by Google-based searches on the CAZy site.
On CAZY Family pages, data can be sorted, by clicking on the table header, or filtered, by entering text or a selection in a drop-down menu. Only available for Web browsers with JavaScript enabled.
