Xylanases are hydrolytic enzymes which randomly cleave the β 1, 4 backbone of the
complex plant cell wall polysaccharide xylan. Diverse forms of these enzymes exist …

Xylan is the principal type of hemicellulose. It is a linear polymer of β-D-xylopyranosyl units
linked by (1–4) glycosidic bonds. In nature, the polysaccharide backbone may be added to 4 …

For technical, environmental and economical reasons, industrial demands for process-fitted
enzymes have evolved drastically in the last decade. Therefore, continuous efforts are made …

Xylanases are hydrolases depolymerizing the plant cell wall component xylan, the second
most abundant polysaccharide. The molecular structure and hydrolytic pattern of xylanases …

In this review, a comprehensive discussion exclusively on bacterial xylanases; their gene
organization; different factors and conditions affecting enzyme yield and activity; and their …

Xylanases are of widespread importance in several food and non-food biotechnological
applications. They degrade heteroxylans, a structurally heterogeneous group of plant cell …

The complex structure of lignocellulose requires the involvement of a suite of
lignocellulolytic enzymes for bringing about an effective de-polymerization. Cellulases and …

Plant cell walls are predominantly composed of polysaccharides, which are connected in a
strong, yet resilient network. They determine the size and shape of plant cells and form the …

Twelve members of the family 11 xylanases, including both mesophilic and thermophilic
proteins, were studied using molecular dynamics (MD). Simulations of xylanases were …

Low thermostability often hampers the applications of xylanases in industrial processes
operated at high temperature, such as degradation of biomass or pulp bleaching …
