Abstract Information pertaining to enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose by noncomplexed
cellulase enzyme systems is reviewed with a particular emphasis on development of …

This review concerns basic research on cellulases and cellulose-specific carbohydrate-
binding modules (CBMs). As a background, glycosyl hydrolases are also briefly reviewed …

Biological conversion of cellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals offers the high yields to
products vital to economic success and the potential for very low costs. Enzymatic hydrolysis …

Attempts to correlate the physical and chemical properties of biomass to its susceptibility to
enzyme digestion are often inconclusive or contradictory depending on variables such as …

A new functionally based kinetic model for enzymatic hydrolysis of pure cellulose by the
Trichoderma cellulase system is presented. The model represents the actions of …

Cellulases acting on crystalline cellulose in synergistic mixtures have higher combined
activities than the sum of their individual activities. The mechanisms by which different types …

Miscanthus x giganteus is a tall perennial grass whose suitability as an energy crop is
presently being appraised. There is very little information on the effect of pretreatment and …

SYNOPSIS: I have been studying the Thermobifida fusca cellulose degrading proteins for
the past 25 years. In this period, we have purified and characterized the six extracellular …

To improve the enzymatic hydrolytic efficiency and reduce production cost, a statistically
designed experimental approach was used to optimize the composition of cellulase mixture …

Developing enzyme cocktails for cellulosic biomass hydrolysis complementary to current
cellulase systems is a critical step needed for economically viable biofuels production …
