Systematic studies of the interactions between a model polyphenol compound and microbial β-glucosidases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Lignin is a major obstacle for cost-effective conversion of cellulose into fermentable sugars. Non-productive adsorption onto insoluble lignin fragments and interactions with soluble phenols are important inhibition mechanisms of cellulases, including β ...

Sets of covariant residues modulate the activity and thermal stability of GH1 β-glucosidases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The statistical coupling analysis of 768 β-glucosidases from the GH1 family revealed 23 positions in which the amino acid frequencies are coupled. The roles of these covariant positions in terms of the properties of β-glucosidases were investigated by ...

Changes in the electrophoretic pattern of glucosidases during apple seeds stratification [PDF]
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015 The technique of localization of glucosidases on disc electropherograms, based on reduction of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride by enzymatically liberated sugar is described.

Plant Defensive β-Glucosidases Resist Digestion and Sustain Activity in the Gut of a Lepidopteran Herbivore [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Two-component activated chemical defenses are a major part of many plants’ strategies to disrupt herbivory. The activation step is often the β-glucosidase-catalyzed removal of a glucose moiety from a pro-toxin, leading to an unstable and toxic aglycone ...

Fungal Beta-Glucosidases: A Bottleneck in Industrial Use of Lignocellulosic Materials
Biomolecules, 2013 Profitable biomass conversion processes are highly dependent on the use of efficient enzymes for lignocellulose degradation. Among the cellulose degrading enzymes, beta-glucosidases are essential for efficient hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass as they ...

Iminosugars Inhibit Dengue Virus Production via Inhibition of ER Alpha-Glucosidases--Not Glycolipid Processing Enzymes. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 It has long been thought that iminosugar antiviral activity is a function of inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum-resident α-glucosidases, and on this basis, many iminosugars have been investigated as therapeutic agents for treatment of infection by a ...
