  1. 11. Functional studies and engineering of family 1 carbohydrate-binding modules

    Författare :Janne Lehtiö; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Cellulose-binding; carbohydrate-binding modules; phage display; bacterial surface display; combinatorial protein library; protein engineering; Trichoderma reesei; Staphylococcus carnosus;

    Sammanfattning : The family 1 cellulose-binding modules (CBM1) form a groupof small, stable carbohydrate-binding proteins. These modulesare essential for fungal cellulosedegradation. This thesisdescribes both functional studies of the CBM1s as well asprotein engineering of the modules for several objectives. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Covalent bonds between lignin and carbohydrates, forming a matrix referred to as lignin carbohydrate complexes (LCC), remain one of the most controversial topics in wood chemistry. A key issue is whether they are formed during chemical and mechanical pretreatments of the compact wood structure or actually present in wood prior to isolation. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Feruloyl esterases - Evaluation of their potential for biotechnological applications

    Författare :Cyrielle Bonzom; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; multi-domain enzyme; acetyl esterase; enzyme immobilization; N-glycosylation; carbohydrate active enzyme family 1; acetyl xylan esterase; heterologous production; polysaccharide utilization loci; enzyme stability; feruloyl esterase;

    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
