[GHL1-GHL15: new families of hypothetical glycoside hydrolases]
Abstract:
Domains of fifteen recently found families of hypothetical glycoside hydrolases (GHL1-GHL15) have been used for iterative screening of the protein database. Evolutionary connections between representatives of these families were revealed. Also, their relationship with members of the following known families of protein domains were found: GH5, GH13, GH13_33, GH17, GH18, GH20, GH27, GH29, GH31, GH35, GH36A, GH36B, GH36C, GH36D, GH36E, GH36F, GH36G, GH36H, GH36J, GH36K, GH39, GH42, GH53, GH66, GH97, GH101, GH107, GH112, GH114, COG1082, COG1306, COG1649, COG2342, DUF3111, and PF00962. The unclassified homologues were grouped into 35 new families of hypothetical glycoside hydrolases: GHL16-GHL50. Position of GHL1-GHL15 families in the hierarchical classification of glycoside hydrolases and their homologues is discussed. Several new superfamilies of protein domains are suggested.

Aldehydes and Ketones with Water: Hydrate Formation
The formation of hydrates is a reversible reaction. Hydrate formation is influenced by steric and electronic factors accompanying the alkyl substituents on the carbonyl group: The rate of hydrate formation increases with a decrease in the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Hence,...
Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which the addition of water breaks down a polymer into its simpler monomer units. For example, peptides break into amino acids, carbohydrates into simple sugars, and DNA into nucleotides. Enzymes often facilitate these processes.
Hydrolysis Reverses Dehydration Synthesis
Complex carbohydrates can be broken down by breaking the bonds between individual sugar units. The reaction breaks a glycosidic bond as water is added to the compound. The...
