Chirality-specific hydrolysis of amino acid substrates by cellulose nanofibers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate for the first time that cellulose nanofibers obtained from natural sources have the capability to hydrolyze the amide bonds of amino acid substrates in a chirality-specific manner. The chiral specificities were clearly correlated with the species of amino acid units and the crystal structures of cellulose.

Engineering of Family-5 Glycoside Hydrolase (Cel5A) from an Uncultured Bacterium for Efficient Hydrolysis of Cellulosic Substrates
Cel5A, an endoglucanase, was derived from the metagenomic library of vermicompost. The deduced amino acid sequence of Cel5A shows high sequence homology with family-5 glycoside hydrolases, which contain a single catalytic domain but no distinct cellulose-binding domain. Random mutagenesis and cellulose-binding module (CBM) fusion approaches were successfully applied to obtain properties require...
متن کاملThe effect of Sulfuric acid and Maleic acid on characteristics of nano-cellulose produced from waste office paper
Present paper examines the effect of acid type and hydrolysis conditions on morphology, size, yield and crystallinity of produced cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). Cellulose obtained from waste office paper was hydrolyzed under the same conditions by Maleic acid (MA) and Sulfuric Acid (SA) in separate treatments. Also this cellulose was hydrolyzed under different timing and temperature by MA and SA...

متن کاملProcessive action of cellobiohydrolase Cel7A from Trichoderma reesei is revealed as 'burst' kinetics on fluorescent polymeric model substrates.
Reaction conditions for the reducing-end-specific derivatization of cellulose substrates with the fluorogenic compound, anthranilic acid, have been established. Hydrolysis of fluorescence-labelled celluloses by cellobiohydrolase Cel7A from Trichoderma reesei was consistent with the active-site titration kinetics (burst kinetics), which allowed the quantification of the processivity of the enzym...
متن کاملExploration of cellulose surface-binding properties of acidothermus cellulolyticus Cel5A by site-specific mutagenesis.
Understanding the interactions between cellulases and cellulosic substrates is critical to the development of an efficient artificial cellulase system for conversion of biomass to sugars. We directed specific mutations to the interactive surface of the Acidothermus cellulolyticus EI endoglucanase catalytic domain. The cellulose-binding domain is not translated in these mutants. Amino acid mutat...
