Lignocellulosic biomass has enormous potential to contribute to worldwide energy,
chemical, and material demands in a renewable, sustainable manner. In the United States …

Plants represent a vast, renewable resource and are well suited to provide sustainably for
humankind's transportation fuel needs. To produce infrastructure-compatible fuels from …

Most proteins consist of multiple domains. How do linkers efficiently transfer information
between sites that are on different domains to activate the protein? Mere flexibility only …

Cellulose is a crystalline polymer of β1, 4-d-glucose that is difficult to deconstruct to sugars
by enzymes. The recalcitrance of cellulose microfibrils is a function of both the shape of …

In nature, enzymes that deconstruct biological polymers, such as cellulose and chitin, often
exhibit multi-domain architectures, comprising a catalytic domain and a non-catalytic binding …

The production of cellulase by Trichoderma reesei RUT C-30 under solid-state fermentation
(SSF) on wheat bran and cellulose was optimized employing a two stage statistical design of …

Lignocellulosic (LC) biomass is the most abundant renewable resource for mankind
gravitating society towards sustainable solution for energy that can reduce the carbon …

Producing fuels, chemicals, and materials from renewable resources to meet societal
demands remains an important step in the transition to a sustainable, clean energy …

The inherent resistance of lignocellulosic biomass makes it impervious for industrially
important enzymes such as cellulases to hydrolyze cellulose. Further, the competitive …

Plant cell-wall polysaccharides represent a vast source of food in nature. To depolymerize
polysaccharides to soluble sugars, many organisms use multifunctional enzyme mixtures …
