    Abstract : Laminarinase 16A from Phanerochaete chrysosporium is a 36 kDa enzyme with typical endo-β-1,3(4)-glucanase activity, belonging to family 16 of glycoside hydrolases. The catalytic amino acids in the active site are identified as nucleophile Glu 115 and acid/base Glu 120. READ MORE

  3. 2. Identification of proteins expressed by the root-rot fungus Heterobasidion annosum when growing on lignocellulose

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biology (until 131231)

    Author : Xiaoyu Wang; [2009]
    Keywords : Heterobasidion annosum; peptide mapping; lignocellulose; cellulase; cellobiohydrolase; wood degradation; white-rot fungus;

    Abstract : The Root-rot fungus, Heterobasidion annosum, is a major pathogen on spruce and pine trees and is estimated to cause up to 20 % production loss in the forest industry in the temperate region. The genome of H. annosum has recently been sequenced and a total of ~280 carbohydrate-active enzymes have been predicted so far. READ MORE
