  2. 1. Design and synthesis of xyloglucan oligosaccharides : structure-function studies and application of xyloglucan endotransglycosylase PttXET16A

    Author : Martin J. Baumann; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; xyloglucan oligosaccharides; xyloglucan endotransglycosylase; XET; crystal structure; fiber surface modification; Populus tremula x Populus tremuloides; Hybrid aspen;

    Abstract : Primary cell walls are a composite of cellulose microfibrilsand hemicelluloses. Xyloglucan is the principal hemicelluloseof primary cell walls of dicotyledons. Xyloglucanendotransglycosylases (XETs) cleave and religate xyloglucanpolymers in plant cell walls. READ MORE

  4. 2. Plant and microbial xyloglucanases: Function, Structure and Phylogeny

    Author : Jens Eklöf; Harry Brumer; Harry Gilbert; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; xyloglucan; xyloglucanases; XTH; XET; XEH; endoglucanases; EG16; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

    Abstract :   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.
