Application

Cellobiohydrolase I can be used in combination with endocellulases and b-glucosidase to produce glucose from cellulose.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cellobiohydrolase (CBH) is a cellulase which degrades cellulose by hydrolysing the 1,4-β-D-glycosidic bonds. CBH is an exocellulase which cleaves two to four units from the ends of cellulose. CBH I cleaves progressively from the reducing end. CBH I is commonly used in detergents for cleaning textiles. Its ezymatic activity ranges from 37° C to 50° C, with its optimal temperature being approximately 45° C. The optimum pH for the enzyme is 5-6.

General description

Cellubiohydrolase I is an enzyme present in many fungi, but particularly wood rot fungi. It is a monomer of 53 kDa with a catalytic domain and a cellulose binding domain. The reaction adds water to the glucose bonds in cellulose (non-reducing ends of the chain), yielding cellobiose.

Cellulases hydrolyze β-1,4-glucosidic linkages of insoluble cellulose at the solid/liquid interface, generating soluble cellooligosaccharides. We describe here our method for real-time observation of the behavior of cellulase molecules on the substrate, using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM). When glycoside hydrolase

Natural cellulolytic enzyme systems as well as leading commercial cellulase cocktails are dominated by enzymes that degrade cellulose chains in a processive manner. Despite the abundance of processivity among natural cellulases, the molecular basis as well as the biotechnological implications

Plant cell-wall polysaccharides represent a vast source of food in nature. To depolymerize polysaccharides to soluble sugars, many organisms use multifunctional enzyme mixtures consisting of glycoside hydrolases, lytic polysaccharide mono-oxygenases, polysaccharide lyases, and carbohydrate esterases, as well as accessory, redox-active
