There are in nature two widely distributed carbon sources, starch and cellulose, which
maintain most forms of life. These polymers are composed of glucose units which have …

Most starch hydrolases and related enzymes belong to the α-amylase family which contains
a characteristic catalytic (β/α) 8-barrel domain. Currently known primary structures that have …

Specificity of Proteolysis presents a survey and conclusions on the action or proteinases-
enzymes which are cleaving proteins or peptides. The specificity of proteinases which is …

The term “starch-binding domain”(SBD) has been applied to a domain within an amylolytic
enzyme that gave the enzyme the ability to bind onto raw, ie thermally untreated, granular …

Glucoamylases are inverting exo-acting starch hydrolases releasing β-glucose from the non-
reducing ends of starch and related substrates. The majority of glucoamylases are …

Cellulases play a central role in the recycling of lignocellulose. Molecular biology is now
hel** to unravel the complex enzymology of cellulose hydrolysis and giving information …

Glucoamylase is one of the oldest and widely used biocatalysts in food industry. The major
application of glucoamylase is the saccharification of partially processed starch/dextrin to …

A method for the quantitative estimation of instability with respect to deamidation of the
asparaginyl (Asn) residues in proteins is described. The procedure involves the observation …

The filamentous ascomycete Aspergillus awamori secretes large amounts of glucoamylase
upon growth in medium containing starch, glucose, or a variety of hexose sugars and sugar …

The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei produces several endoglucanases (EG) and
cellobiohydrolases (CBH) which are involved in cellulose hydrolysis in a complex …
