Carboxylic ester hydrolases: Classification and database derived from their primary, secondary, and tertiary structures. [PDF]
Protein Sci, 2016 AbstractWe classified the carboxylic ester hydrolases (CEHs) into families and clans by use of multiple sequence alignments, secondary structure analysis, and tertiary structure superpositions. Our work for the first time has fully established their systematic structural classification.
