Quick Details
Specifications
Cellulase system consists of three major components: Endoglucanases (endo-1,4-β-D-glucanases; C1; EG, EC 3.2.1.4), cellobiohydrolases (exo-1,4-β-D-glucanases; CX; CBH, EC 3.2.1.91), and β-glucosidases (1,4-β-D-glucosidase; βG; BGL, EC 3.2.1.21). EG acts on insoluble cellulose surface, breaks internal bonds to disrupt the crystalline structure of cellulose and expose individual cellulose polysaccharide chains, and makes cellulose chains hydration easily. CBH cleaves 2-4 units from the ends of the exposed chains produced by EG, resulting in the tetrasaccharides or disaccharide such as cellobiose. There are two main types of CBH- one type working progressively from the reducing end, and the other type working progressively from the non-reducing end of cellulose. ΒG hydrolyses the CBH product into individual monosaccharides. through the synergistic action of above enzyme system, cellulose can be efficiently hydrolyzed to glucose.
