 CHB_HEXPutative carbohydrate binding domain | |
|---|---|
| SMART ACC: | SM001081 |
| Description: | This domain represents the N terminal domain in chitobiases and beta-hexosaminidases EC:3.2.1.52. It is composed of a beta sandwich structure that is similar in structure to the cellulose binding domain of cellulase from Cellulomonas fimi (PUBMED:8673609). This suggests that this may be a carbohydrate binding domain. |

| InterPro abstract: | This domain is found in the N terminus of chitobiases and beta-hexosaminidases. It is composed of a β sandwich structure that is similar in structure to the cellulose binding domain of cellulase from Cellulomonas fimi [ PUBMED:8673609 ], suggesting that it may function as a carbohydrate-binding domain. |
