Abstract
Glycosyl hydrolases from hyperthermophiles are, thus far, the most wid ely studied enzyme class from these organisms. Not only are there many biotechnological opportunities for these enzymes, but the rapidly inc reasing amount of information about their genetic, biochemical and bio physical characteristics (recently genomic sequencing data for both P. furiosus and P. horikoshi have been published on the Internet) make t hem ideal candidates for the study of biocatalysis and protein thermos tability at extremely high temperatures.
