Pectin methylesterases (PMEs) are enzymes that play a critical role in modifying pectins, a class of complex polysaccharides in plant cell walls. These enzymes catalyze the removal of methyl ester groups from pectins, resulting in a change in the degree of esterification and consequently, the physicochemical properties of the polymers.

Functional Residue Prediction by Multiple Sequence Alignment for Carbohydrate Binding Modules [PDF]
Multiple sequence alignment is often used to locate consensus sequence stretches with evolutionary and functional conservation. However, when sequence similarity among the queries becomes low, sequence alignment tools generate extremely diverse results.

Galectins: Their Network and Roles in Infection/Immunity/Tumor Growth Control 2021
Galectins constitute a protein family of soluble and non-glycosylated animal lectins that show a β-galactoside-binding activity via a conserved sequence of approximately 130–140 amino acids located in the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) [...]

Advancing Solutions to the Carbohydrate Sequencing Challenge [PDF]
Carbohydrates possess a variety of distinct features with stereochemistry playing a particularly important role in distinguishing their structure and function. Monosaccharide building blocks are defined by a high density of chiral centers. Additionally, the anomericity and regiochemistry of the glycosidic linkages carry important biological information.
