Copper amine oxidase N-terminal domain. Copper amine oxidases catalyze the oxidative deamination of primary amines to the corresponding aldehydes, while reducing molecular oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. These enzymes are dimers of identical subunits, each comprising four domains. The N-terminal domain, which is absent in some amine oxidases, consists of a five-stranded antiparallel beta sheet twisted around an alpha helix. The D1 domains from the two subunits comprise the 'stalk' of the mushroom-shaped dimer, and interact with each other but do not pack tightly against each other.

Polysaccharide Lyase Family 6. Polysaccharide Lyase Family 6 is a family of beta-helical polysaccharide lyases. Members include alginate lyase (EC 4.2.2.3) and chondroitinase B (EC 4.2.2.19). Chondroitinase B is an enzyme that only cleaves the beta-(1,4)-linkage of dermatan sulfate (DS), leading to 4,5-unsaturated dermatan sulfate disaccharides as the product. DS is a highly sulfated, unbranched polysaccharide belonging to a family of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) composed of alternating hexosamine (gluco- or galactosamine) and uronic acid (D-glucuronic or L-iduronic acid) moieties. DS contains alternating 1,4-beta-D-galactosamine (GalNac) and 1,3-alpha-L-iduronic acid units. The related chondroitin sulfate (CS) contains alternating GalNac and 1,3-beta-D-glucuronic acid units. Alginate lyases (known as either mannuronate (EC 4.2.2.3) or guluronate lyases (EC 4.2.2.11) catalyze the degradation of alginate, a copolymer of alpha-L-guluronate and its C5 epimer beta-D-mannuronate.
