1. Human salivary esterases : a biochemical study of carboxylesterase and thio-esterase in human saliva with special reference to their inhibition by dental materials
Sammanfattning : Electrophoretic and gel chromatographic techniques have been developed in order to obtain partially purified esterases from small amounts of human saliva. These techniques permit the characterization of salivary esterase regarding substrate and inhibitor specificities, and lectin binding ability. LÄS MER
2. Exploring and exploiting plant biomass degradation by Bacteroidetes
Sammanfattning : Bacteroidetes bacteria have evolved to become excellent biomass degraders. They achieved this by applying carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and organizing genes connected to the degradation of specific polysaccharides into discrete gene cassettes, so-called polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs).

3. Feruloyl esterases - Evaluation of their potential for biotechnological applications
Sammanfattning : Owing to the current efforts to find sustainable alternatives to petrochemical based industries and technologies, enzymatic degradation and valorization of plant biomass has been attracting interest. Due to the complexity of plant biomass, an array of enzymes is required to hydrolyze it, including esterases. LÄS MER
4. Enzymes for selective decoupling of woody biomass: From fundamentals to industrial potential
Sammanfattning : The need for an economy based on renewable materials has resulted in growing interest in the use of woody biomass in a wider field of application. However, the chemical complexity of lignocellulose and the dense structure of wood pose challenges in its processing. LÄS MER
5. Enzyme assays for lignin–carbohydrate bond hydrolysis
Sammanfattning : To identify, produce, and use enzymes, analytical methods known as enzyme assays are employed. Enzyme assays are based on analysing the changes brought about on a substrate by an enzyme under defined conditions. Assays are often based on simplified reactions acting as substitutes for the reaction of interest. LÄS MER
