Exo-exo synergy between Cel6A and Cel7A from Hypocrea jecorina: role of carbohydrate binding module and the endo-lytic character of the enzymes.
Abstract Synergy between cellulolytic enzymes is essential in both natural and industrial breakdown of biomass. In addition to synergy between endo-lytic and exo-lytic enzymes, a lesser known but equally conspicuous synergy occurs among exo-acting, processive cellobiohydrolases (CBHs) such as Cel7A and Cel6A from Hypocrea jecorina. We studied this system using microcrystalline cellulose as substrate and found a […]
