In the transition to the post-petroleum economy, there is a growing demand for novel
enzymes with high process performances to replace traditional chemistry with a more …

Xylan, a prominent component of cellulosic biomass, has a high potential for degradation
into reducing sugars, and subsequent conversion into bioethanol. This process requires a …

Globally, there is a growing demand for biocatalysts because of the associated efficacy and
efficiency. The applications of enzymes in food, paper, pulp, textile, and chemical industries …

Cellulases are a heterogeneous group of enzymes that synergistically catalyze the
hydrolysis of cellulose, the major component of plant biomass. Such reaction has …

In order to improve the degradation activity of β-glucosidase (CpBgl) from Coniophora
puteana, the structural modification was conducted. The enzyme activity of mutants CpBgl …

The techniques of metagenomics have allowed researchers to access the genomic potential
of uncultivated microbes, but there remain significant barriers to determination of gene …

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in understanding the enzymatic
mechanism of glycosidases resorting mostly to DFT and DFT/MM calculations. However, the …

Abstract β-Xylosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of xylooligosaccharides to xylose in the final
step of hemicellulose degradation. AnBX, which is a GH3 β-xylosidase from Aspergillus …

The enzymatic pathway of xanthan depolymerization has been predicted previously;
however, the β-glucosidase and unsaturated glucuronyl hydrolase in this system have not …

From bacteria to man, all living organisms are built and maintained by biocatalysts called
enzymes. Microorganisms are preferential sources for the production of industrial enzymes …
