Question about the enzyme function

[edit]

The header says the enzyme breaks down a molecule into two sugars. Is that true though? Don't these catalyze the hydrolosis of a monosaccaride from non-sugar groups? The definition of glycoside given here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycoside implies that a glycoside hydrolase does not form two sugars. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.174.75.226 (talk) 16:22, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
