Abstract
Recent structural studies provide a fresh look at the catalytic mechanism of polysaccharide hydrolysis by retaining beta-glycosyl hydrolases. Highlights include insights into saccharide ring distortion, both upon binding and during the course of catalysis, and evidence for the regulation of the pKa of key catalytic residues.Entities:
