1. Enantioselective Binding of Designed Propranolol Analogues to the Cellobiohydrolase Cel7A
Abstract : This thesis describes the affinity and enantiomeric selectivity of the cellobiohydrolase Cel7A (isolated from Hypocrea jercorina). The chiral recognition of the enzyme has been studied with respect to amino alcohols and new ligands have been designed, based on the structure of the common ?-blocker propranolol. READ MORE

2. Degradation of wood polysaccharides by fungal glycoside hydrolases
Abstract : The enzymatic degradation of wood polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose is an important process in nature. In addition, cellulases and hemicellulases can be used in industrial applications. Fuel ethanol can potentially be produced from wood by enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose followed by yeast fermentation of the formed sugars. READ MORE

3. Heterogeneous Adsorption in Chiral LC
Abstract : The adsorption of chiral drugs on proteins immobilized on silica shows an heterogeneous adsorption behavior on multiple sites. The theory of nonlinear chromatography was used for a systematic study on this behavior - linear chromatography can only measure the "global" retention. READ MORE

4. Structure-function studies of GH7 cellulases, key enzymes in the global carbon cycle
Abstract : Enzyme mixtures used for lignocellulosic ethanol production are most commonly derived from filamentous fungi, and enzymes from the glycoside hydrolase family 7 (GH7) constitute the most abundant components in these cocktails. In this thesis I have aimed to increase our understanding of this enzyme family, with focus on the interrelation between their structure and function. READ MORE

5. Hydrolytic and Oxidative Mechanisms Involved in Cellulose Degradation
Abstract : The enzymatic degradation of cellulose is an important process in nature. This thesis has focused on the degradation of cellulose by enzymes from two cellulose-degrading fungi, Hypocrea jecorina and Phanerochaete chrysosporium, including both the action of the individual enzymes and their synergistic interplay.
