Alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily

The alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily is superfamily of hydrolytic enzymes of widely differing phylogenetic origin and catalytic function that share a common fold.[1] The core of each enzyme is an alpha/beta-sheet (rather than a barrel), containing 8 beta strands connected by 6 alpha helices.[1][2] The enzymes are believed to have diverged from a common ancestor, retaining little obvious sequence similarity, but preserving the arrangement of the catalytic residues. All have a catalytic triad, the elements of which are borne on loops, which are the best-conserved structural features of the fold.

The alpha/beta hydrolase fold includes proteases, lipases, peroxidases, esterases, epoxide hydrolases and dehalogenases.[3]
