A novel member of glycoside hydrolase family 30 subfamily 8 with altered substrate specificity

A GH30 subfamily 8 (GH30-8) xylanase with functional properties different from the canonical GH30-8 glucuronoxylan xylanohydrolases has been biochemically and structurally characterized. The findings highlight the diversity of xylanolytic activities that derive from the GH30 family of glycoside hydrolases.
