ENDOGLUCANASE CEL5A FROM BACILLUS AGARADHERANS AT 1.6A RESOLUTION
|
OverviewOverview
The enzymatic degradation of cellulose, by cellulases, is not only, industrially important in the food, paper, and textile industries but also, a potentially useful method for the environmentally friendly recycling of, municipal waste. An understanding of the structural and mechanistic, requirements for the hydrolysis of the beta-1,4 glycosidic bonds of, cellulose is an essential prerequisite for beneficial engineering of, cellulases for these processes. Cellulases have been classified into 13 of, the 62 glycoside hydrolase families [Henrissat, B., and Bairoch, A. (1996), Biochem J. 316, 695-696]. The structure of the catalytic core of the, family 5 endoglucanase, Ce15A, from the alkalophilic Bacillus agaradherans, has been solved by multiple isomorphous replacement at 1.6 A resolution., ...
