Abstract
Glycosidases catalyse transformations leading to the attachment of carbohydrate molecules to aglycons. Hence, a detailed description of glycosidases is made in this chapter which includes their classification, nature, source, structural features, mechanism of glycosylation and advantages of such reactions. Also mentioned are examples of glycosylation reactions involving a wide variety of aglycons with different carbohydrate molecules in the form of a table.
