1. Plant and microbial xyloglucanases: Function, Structure and Phylogeny
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, enzymes acting on the primary cell wall hemicellulose xyloglucan are studied. Xyloglucans are ubiquitous in land plants which make them an important polysaccharide to utilise for microbes and a potentially interesting raw material for various industries. LÄS MER
2. Surface modification of cellulose materials : from wood pulps to artificial blood vessels
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the improvement of two radically different cellulose materials, paper and artificial blood vessels, constructed from two diverse cellulose sources, wood pulp and Acetobacter xylinum. The improvement of both materials was possible due to the natural affinity of the hemicellulose xyloglucan for cellulose. LÄS MER
3. Xyloglucan-active enzymes : properties, structures and applications
Sammanfattning : Cellulosabaserade material är världens rikligast förekommande förnyelsebara råvara. Växters cellväggar är naturliga kompositmaterial där den kristallina cellulosan är inbäddad i en väv av hemicellulosa, strukturproteiner och lignin. LÄS MER
4. A holistic approach to understanding CAZy families through reductionist methods
Sammanfattning : In a time when the amount of biological data present in the public domain is becoming increasingly vast, the need for good classification systems has never been greater. In the field of glycoscience the necessity of a good classification for the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis, modification and degradation of polysaccharides is even more pronounced than in other fields.

5. On the engineering of proteins: methods and applications for carbohydrate-active enzymes
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the application of different protein engineering methods on enzymes and non-catalytic proteins that act upon xyloglucans. Xyloglucans are polysaccharides found as storage polymers in seeds and tubers, and as cross-linking glucans in the cell wall of plants. LÄS MER
