Hemicellulases are a diverse group of enzymes that hydrolyze hemicelluloses—one of the
most abundant groups of polysaccharide in nature. These enzymes have many …

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 …

This graduate textbook is aimed at providing researchers new to the subject with information
on the structure and mechanisms in the chemistry, biochemistry or processing of …

Abstract Recently, α-l-arabinofuranosidases (EC3. 2.1. 55) have received increased
attention primarily due to their role in the degradation of lignocelluloses as well as their …

Abstract l-Arabinose is the second most abundant pentose beside d-xylose and is found in
the plant polysaccharides, hemicellulose and pectin. The need to find renewable carbon …

Alpha-L-arabinofuranoside arabinofuranohydrolase (ARA), more commonly known as alpha-
L-arabinofuranosidase (EC number 3.2. 1.55), is a hydrolytic enzyme, catalyzing the …

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 …

High‐resolution crystal structures of α‐l‐arabinofuranosidase from Geobacillus
stearothermophilus T‐6, a family 51 glycosidase, are described. The enzyme is a hexamer …

The gene encoding a novel α-l-arabinofuranosidase from Bifidobacterium longum B667,
abfB, was cloned and sequenced. The deduced protein had a molecular mass of about 61 …

Hemicelluloses are heteropolymers present along with cellulose in all terrestrial plant cell
walls. Lignocellulosic biomass consists of 20–30% hemicellulose which can be effectively …
