It is a member of the Glycoside Hydrolase super family with structural and sequential similarities to hydrolases and mannanases. Current evidence suggests it causes the hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages via a Leu. 176 or Ile. 275 active site. | ||

According to our research, 3CBW is a glycoside hydrolase whose job is to hydrolyze glycosidic bonds between two or more carbohydrates. Since this protein was found to most likely come from the bacterial species Bacillus Subtilis, it is highly likely that this protein was found in the human gastrointestinal tract. That is because Bacillus Subtilis is a probiotic bacteria and can aid in digestion and support a healthy microbiome. | According to our research, 3CBW is a glycoside hydrolase whose job is to hydrolyze glycosidic bonds between two or more carbohydrates.

This bacterial species offers several potential gut and immune health benefits, and it can be sourced through probiotic supplements or by eating fermented foods. In consuming such things, a person can increase the amount of this bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract and therefore aid in the body's ability to break down food. | |||
