Interfacial molecular interactions of cellobiohydrolase Cel7A and its variants on cellulose
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020 Background Molecular-scale mechanisms of the enzymatic breakdown of cellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars are still poorly understood, with a need for independent measurements of enzyme kinetic parameters.

Activation energy of extracellular enzymes in soils from different biomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Enzyme dynamics are being incorporated into soil carbon cycling models and accurate representation of enzyme kinetics is an important step in predicting belowground nutrient dynamics.

Toward Efficient Cellulosic Biomass Breakdown: Enzymatic Innovation and Kinetic Insights
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 6, June 2026.By combining a processive GH7, CBM2a, and GH3 into single enzyme, the GCG fusion protein effectively breaks down crystalline cellulose. This tri‐domain architecture reduces cellobiose inhibition at the cellulose surface allowing for the simultaneous targeting of the substrate, depolymerization, and removal of products.

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.The DENN domain‐containing protein SsSMD1 is highly conserved across phytopathogenic fungi. Functioning as a putative GEF for RAS GTPase SsYPT1, SsSMD1 orchestrates its activation to regulate cell wall integrity, sclerotia development, and virulence in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

Effects of polystyrene nanoparticles on the microbiota and functional diversity of enzymes in soil
Environmental Sciences Europe, 2018 Background The increasing production of nanoplastics and the fragmentation of microplastics into smaller particles suggest a plausible yet unclear hazard in the natural environment, such as soil.

Capillary zone electrophoresis for the analysis of glycoforms of cellobiohydrolase [PDF]
Journal of Chromatography A, 2011 Cellobiohydrolase (CBH) is an important enzyme for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol. This work separated the glycoforms of CBH possessing different numbers of neutral mannoses using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) in a 50 mM, pH 7.5 phosphate buffer.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Soil extracellular enzymes are produced and excreted by soil microbial organisms. They catalyze many of the biochemical reactions that support crucial ecosystem functions like decomposition, organic matter mineralization, nutrient cycling, and C sequestration.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1339-1351, May 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In temperate European forests, soil fungal communities, dominated by saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species, represent almost 25% of soil organic carbon (C) in the soil.
