This short domain is found in many different glycosyl hydrolase enzymes, representing the carbohydrate-binding module family 5/12, including proteins such as chitinase A1, chitinase B, and endoglucanase. The domain has a carbohydrate-binding function and contains six aromatic groups that may be important for binding. These modules have a core structure consisting of a 3-stranded meander beta-sheet [1-5]. [1]. 10788483. Solution structure of the chitin-binding domain of Bacillus circulans WL-12 chitinase A1.
