Microbial inulinases find application in enzymatic hydrolysis of inulin for production of
fructose (sweetener) and inulooligosaccharides (prebiotics). Inulin is one of the most …

The anthropocentric term “extremophile” was introduced more than 30 years ago to describe
any organism capable of living and growing under extreme conditions—ie, particularly …

Proteins are the most versatile among the various biological building blocks and a mature
field of protein engineering has lead to many industrial and biomedical applications. But the …

Literature from the past two decades has outlined the existence of a trade-off between
protein stability and function. This trade-off creates a unique challenge for protein engineers …

The development of precise and modulated methods for customized manipulation of DNA is
an important objective for the study and engineering of biological processes and is essential …

Background Saccharification of lignocellulosic material by xylanases and other glycoside
hydrolases is generally conducted at high concentrations of the final reaction products …

A bifunctional enzyme has been created by fusing two Bacillus subtilis enzymes: the β-1, 3–
1, 4-glucanase (BglS, EC 3.2. 1.73) that hydrolyzes plant cell wall β-glucans and the copper …

All biosensing platforms rest on two pillars: specific biochemical recognition of a particular
analyte and transduction of that recognition into a readily detectable signal. Most existing …

High xylanase activity and stability toward alkaline pH is strongly desired for pulping and
bleaching processes. We previously enhanced thermal stability of Bacillus circulans …

Insertional fusion between host and guest protein domains has been employed to create
multi‐domain protein complexes displaying integrated and coupled functionalities. The …
