  2. 1. Exploring glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5) enzymes

    Author : Yang Wang; Ines Ezcurra; Henrik Aspeborg; Henrik Stålbrand; Torkel Berglund; KTH; []
    Keywords : GH5; glycoside hydrolase; subfamily classification; mannans; polysaccharides; mannanases; cell wall; GH5; glykosidhydrolas; subfamiljklassificering; mannaner; polysackarider; mannanaser; cellvägg; SRA - Molecular Bioscience; SRA - Molekylär biovetenskap;

    Abstract : In 1990, the classification of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) was introduced by the scientist Bernard Henrissat. According to sequence similarity, these enzymes were separated into families with conserved structures and reaction mechanisms. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structural and biochemical insights into biosynthesis and degradation of N-glycans

    Author : Tom Reichenbach; Christina Divne; David Drew; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; N-glycan; biosynthesis; degradation; glycosyltransferase; glycoside hydrolase; biofuel; enzyme; membrane protein; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Carbohydrates are a primary energy source for all living organisms, but importantly, they also participate in a number of life-sustaining biological processes, e.g. cell signaling and cell-wall synthesis. The first part of the thesis examines glycosyltransferases that play a crucial role in the biosynthesis of N-glycans. READ MORE

  5. 3. Investigation of genes and proteins involved in xylan biosynthesis

    Author : Anders Winzell; Ines Ezcurra; Johan Edqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Populus; xylan biosynthesis; hemicellulose; glycosyltransferase; GT43; IRX; glycoside hydrolase; GH10; Xyn10A; CAZy; transcription factor; MYB; wood formation; secondary cell wall; Arabidopsis; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Wood formation or xylogenesis is a fundamental process for so diverse issues as industry, shelter and a sustainable environment. Wood is comprised of secondary xylem, rigid large cells with thick cell walls that are lignified. READ MORE
