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 …

Recent studies have shown that a number of glycoside hydrolase families do not follow the
classical catalytic mechanisms, as they lack a typical catalytic base/nucleophile. A variety of …

Thermobifida fusca Cel9A-90 is a processive endoglucanase consisting of a family 9
catalytic domain (CD), a family 3c cellulose binding module (CBM3c), a fibronectin III-like …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Xylan 1, 4-β-D-xylosidase catalyzes hydrolysis of non-reducing end xylose residues
from xylooligosaccharides. The enzyme is currently used in combination with β-xylanases in …

Lignocellulosic biomass from various types of wood has become a renewable resource for
production of biofuels and biobased chemicals. Because xylan is the major component of …

Pfam DUF1680 (PF07944) is an uncharacterized protein family conserved in many species
of bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, and plants. Previously, we cloned and characterized the …
