The enzymic degradation of insoluble polysaccharides is one of the most important
reactions on earth. Despite this, glycoside hydrolases attack such polysaccharides relatively …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins are an environmentally safe and effective alternative to
chemical pesticides and have been used as biopesticides, with great commercial success …

Plant cell walls are degraded by glycoside hydrolases that often contain noncatalytic
carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), which potentiate degradation. There are currently …

Cellulolytic bacteria and fungi have been shown to use two different approaches to degrade
cellulose. Most aerobic microbes secrete sets of individual cellulases, many of which contain …

The family 2a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM2a) of xylanase 10A from Cellulomonas
fimi binds to the crystalline regions of cellulose. It does not share binding sites with the N …

Enzymes active on complex carbohydrate polymers frequently have modular structures in
which a catalytic domain is appended to one or more carbohydrate-binding modules …

The binding affinity and thermodynamics of family 4 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM4),
belonging to type B CBM, on model surfaces of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and nanofibrils …

Anticoagulants such as unfractionated heparin (UFH), low-molecular-weight heparins
(LMWHs), fondaparinux, and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) targeting thrombin (IIa) or …

Enzyme systems that attack the plant cell wall contain noncatalytic carbohydrate-binding
modules (CBMs) that mediate attachment to this composite structure and play a pivotal role …

Cellulase Cel5A from alkalophilicBacillus sp. 1139 contains a family 17 carbohydrate-
binding module (BspCBM17) and a family 28 CBM (BspCBM28) in tandem. The two …
