CAZypedia was initiated in 2007 to create a comprehensive, living encyclopedia of the carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and associated carbohydrate-binding modules. CAZypedia is closely connected with the actively curated CAZy database, which provides a sequence-based foundation for the biochemical, mechanistic, and structural characterization of these diverse proteins. Now comprising over 200 individual Curator Approved family pages, , CAZypedia is a successful example of dynamic, community-driven, and expert-based biocuration. | |||

Cell surface glycoproteins and glycans play critical roles in a range of biological functions and disease processes. However, the lack of facile methods for sample preparation and data analysis has historically posed major challenges to their characterization.

Unicellular eukaryotes have evolved diverse adaptations to many earthly environments, including as pathogens of human and plant hosts. Their glycosylation is often similarly varied, and the extant record reflects a combination of evolutionary history and contributions to fitness that are only beginning to be explored in detail. I will introduce select aspects of the glycomics, glycogenomics and glycobiology of the soil-borne amoebozoan ''Dictyostelium discoideum'', the apicomplexan human pathogen ''Toxoplasma gondii'', and the agent for Chagas disease ''Trypanosoma cruzi''. | Unicellular eukaryotes have evolved diverse adaptations to many earthly environments, including as pathogens of human and plant hosts.
