Abstract:
Glycoside hydrolases are the tools that pathogenic bacteria use to cut through the defensive glycan structure on host cell surfaces. In this issue of Structure, Pluvinage et al. (2011) report how a bacterial polypeptide with more than one hydrolase module broadens the effective substrate specificity.
