X-RAY CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A NON-CRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE SPECIFIC CARBOHYDRATE-BINDING MODULE: CBM28.

Overview

Natural cellulose exists as a composite of different forms, which have, historically been broadly characterized as "crystalline" or "amorphous"., The recognition of both of these forms of cellulose by the, carbohydrate-binding modules (CBM) of microbial glycoside hydrolases is, central to natural and efficient biotechnological conversion of plant cell, wall biomass. There is increasing evidence that, at least some, individual, binding modules target distinct and different regions of non-crystalline, "amorphous" cellulose. Competition experiments show that CBM28 modules do, not compete with CBM17 modules when binding to non-crystalline cellulose., The structure of the BspCBM28 (http://afmb.cnrs-mrs.fr/CAZY/) module from, the Bacillus sp. 1139 family GH5 endoglucanase, comprising a 191 ...
