Family 3 beta-D-glucan glucohydrolases are distributed widely in higher plants. The enzymes catalyze the hydrolytic removal of beta-D-glucosyl residues from nonreducing termini of a range of beta-D-glucans and beta-D-oligoglucosides. Their broad specificity can be explained by x-ray crystallographic data obtained from a barley beta-D-glucan glucohydrolase in complex with nonhydrolyzable S-glycoside substrate analogs and by molecular modeling of enzyme/substrate complexes ...
