Current challenges in designer cellulosome engineering
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2023 Designer cellulosomes (DCs) are engineered multi-enzyme complexes, comprising carbohydrate-active enzymes attached to a common backbone, the scaffoldin, via high-affinity cohesin-dockerin interactions. The use of DCs in the degradation of renewable biomass polymers is a promising approach for biorefineries. Indeed, DCs have shown significant hydrolytic
