Description | This domain is found in bacterial and archaeal glucoamylases and glucodextranases, and adopts a structure consisting of 17 antiparallel β-strands [ , ]. These β-strands are divided into two β-sheets, and one of the β-sheets is wrapped by an extended polypeptide, which appears to stabilise the domain. This domain, together with glycoside hydrolase domain A (), is mainly involved with catalytic activity, hydrolysing alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages of dextran to release beta-D-glucose from the non-reducing end via an inverting reaction mechanism [ ]. | Name | Glucodextranase, N-terminal |
Short Name | Glucodextranase_N | Type | Domain |
