Carbohydrate-active enzymes such as glycoside hydrolases (GHs) and glycosyltransferases
(GTs) are of growing importance as drug targets. The development of efficient competitive …

Lignocellulose is the most abundant carbohydrate source in nature and represents an ideal
renewable energy source. Thermostable enzymes that hydrolyze lignocellulose to its …

The enzymatic hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond is catalyzed by diverse enzymes generically
termed glycoside hydrolases (hereafter GHs) or glycosidases. The many sequence-based …

Ginsenosides are the principal components responsible for the pharmaceutical activities of
ginseng. The minor ginsenosides, which are also pharmaceutically active, can be produced …

Arabinoxylan (AX) is among the most abundant hemicelluloses on earth and one of the
major components of feedstocks that are currently investigated as a source for advanced …

Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) distort carbohydrate ring geometry along particular “catalytic
itineraries” during the cleavage of glycosidic bonds, illustrating the relationship between …

β-d-Xylosidases are glycoside hydrolases that catalyze the release of xylose units from short
xylooligosaccharides and are engaged in the final breakdown of plant cell-wall …

A key component of colonization, biofilm formation, and protection of the opportunistic
human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the biosynthesis of the exopolysaccharide …

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 …
