Hemicellulolytic microorganisms play a significant role in nature by recycling hemicellulose,
one of the main components of plant polysaccharides. Xylanases (EC 3.2. 1.8) catalyze the …

Understanding the thermodynamic interactions of cellulose nanomaterials with their
environment is important to understand the forces behind their self-organization and co …

Most cellulolytic enzymes consist of distinct catalytic and cellulose-binding domains (CBDs).
Similar domain structures are also found in enzymes degrading other insoluble …

Revised and updated, Chemical Reagents for Protein Modification, Third Edition is an
encyclopedic work describing the many approaches to the site-specific modification of …

Cellulose binding modules (CBMs) potentiate the action of cellulolytic enzymes on insoluble
substrates. Numerous studies have established that three aromatic residues on a CBM …

The cohesin-dockerin interaction in Clostridium thermocellum cellulosome mediates the
tight binding of cellulolytic enzymes to the cellulosome-integrating protein CipA. Here, this …

The cellulose binding elicitor lectin (CBEL) from Phytophthora parasitica nicotianae contains
two cellulose binding domains (CBDs) belonging to the Carbohydrate Binding Module1 …

Four exposed aromatic residues, two in the N-terminal domain (Trp-69 and Trp-33) and two
in the catalytic domain (Trp-245 and Phe-232) of Serratia marcescens chitinase A, are …

Chitinase A1 from Bacillus circulans WL-12 comprises an N-terminal catalytic domain, two
fibronectin type III-like domains, and a C-terminal chitin-binding domain (ChBD). In order to …

The interactions of proteins with polysaccharides play a key role in the microbial hydrolysis
of cellulose and xylan, the most abundant organic molecules in the biosphere, and are thus …
