   Abstract : Cellobiohydrolase Cel7A (Hje_Cel7A) from the ascomycete fungus Hypocrea jecorina is the major component of enzyme cocktails for degradation of plant biomass to soluble sugars for conversion to biofuels. It’s active site is enclosed in a cellulose-binding tunnel and it is able to processively cleave off several cellobiose units from the end of a cellulose chain before being released. READ MORE

3. 2. Purification and crystallization of the I subunit of magnesium chelatase

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : You Lv; [2011]
   Keywords : Magnesium chelatase; BchI; ChlI; AAA protein; Proteinvetenskap; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The I subunit of magnesium chelatase is an AAA+ protein which binds and hydrolyzes ATP to drive the insertion of Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX during bio-synthesis of bacteriochlorophyll and chlorophyll. The purification method and co-crystallization conditions of the Rhodobacter capsulatus BchI (bacteriochlorophyll Magnesium Chelatase I subunit) protein with either ADP or AMPPNP and crystallization conditions of Synechocystissp sp 6803 ChlI (chlorophyll Magnesium Chelatase I subunit) protein are described.
