  2. 1. Xyloglucan-active enzymes : properties, structures and applications

    Author : Martin J. Baumann; Tuula T. Teeri; Harry Brumer; Vincent Eijsink; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; xyloglucan; xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase hydrolase; xyloglucan endo-hydrolase; xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase; XET; xyloglucan oligosaccharides; synthesis; carbohydrate; cellulose; crystal structure; fiber; surface modification; Populus tremula x Populus tremuloides; Hybrid aspen; nasturtium; NXG; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  4. 2. Production and investigation of highly thermophilic multi-domain carbohydrate-active enzymes

    Author : Daniel Krska; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein structure; xylanase; carbohydrate esterase; multidomain enzymes; carbohydrate-active enzymes; thermostable enzymes; plant biomass degradation; Caldicellulosiruptor;

    Abstract : With the looming threat of climate change caused largely by an excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, recent scientific efforts have focused on the substitution of fossil fuels and other polluting compounds with more environmentally conscious choices. To this end, the investigation of biomass as both a renewable source of energy and as a chemical basis to produce high-value products is being extensively investigated. READ MORE

  5. 3. Structural and functional investigation of underexplored carbohydrate-active enzyme families

    Author : Andrea Seveso; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbohydrate-active enzymes; lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase; plant biomass degradation; copper radical oxidases; carbohydrate esterase; protein structure determination; protein structure prediction;

    Abstract : The known consequences of the current fossil-based economy require a transition towards a bio-based economy. Development of biorefineries in which plant biomass can be utilized as a renewable source of energy and building blocks to produce both commodities and high-value products, is a key step in this transition.

  6. 4. Exploring and exploiting plant biomass degradation by Bacteroidetes

    Author : Cathleen Kmezik; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polysaccharide utilization locus; plant biomass degradation; carbohydrate esterases; multidomain enzymes; Bacteroidetes; PUL transfer; carbohydrate-active enzymes; xylan;

    Abstract : 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).

  7. 5. Discovery of fiber-active enzymes in Populus wood

    Author : Henrik Aspeborg; KTH; []
    Keywords : Populus; xylogenesis; secondary cell wall; cellulose; hemicellulose; microarrays; transcript profiling; carbohydrate-active enzyme; glycosyltransferase; glycoside hydrolase;

    Abstract : Renewable fibers produced by forest trees provide excellentraw material of high economic value for industrialapplications. Despite this, the genes and corresponding enzymesinvolved in wood fiber biosynthesis in trees are poorlycharacterized. READ MORE
