| glycosylation variants of a β-glucosidase secreted by a taiwanese fungus, chaetomella raphigera, exhibit variant-specific catalytic and biochemical properties. | cellulosic biomass is an abundant and promising energy source. to make cellulosic biofuels competitive against conventional fuels, conversion of rigid plant materials into sugars must become efficient and cost-effective. during cellulose degradation, cellulolytic enzymes generate cellobiose (β-(1→4)-glucose dimer) molecules, which in turn inhibit such enzymes by negative feedback. β-glucosidases (bgls) cleave cellobiose into glucose monomers, assisting overall cellulolytic activities. therefore, ... | 2014 | 25180973 |
