New perspective on glycoside hydrolase binding to lignin from pretreated corn stover

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2015
BackgroundNon-specific binding of cellulases to lignin has been implicated as a major factor in the loss of cellulase activity during biomass conversion to sugars.

Converting Blastocrithidia Nonstop, a Trypanosomatid With Non‐Canonical Genetic Code, Into a Genetically‐Tractable Model

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Blastocrithidia represents a very small group of species, in which all 3 stop codons are reassigned to encode amino acids with only one of them serving a dual role of a sense and a stop codon simultaneously. Here we demonstrated for the first time that B. nonstop can be genetically modified.

Direct imaging of carbohydrate stereochemistry [PDF]

arXiv
Carbohydrates, essential biological building blocks, exhibit functional mechanisms tied to their intricate stereochemistry. Subtle stereochemical differences, such as those between the anomers maltose and cellobiose, lead to distinct properties due to their differing glycosidic bonds; the former is digestible by humans, while the latter is not.

Resolving solution conformations of the model semi-flexible polyelectrolyte homogalacturonan using molecular dynamics simulations and small-angle x-ray scattering [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
The conformation of polyelectrolytes in the solution state has long been of interest in polymer science. Herein we utilize all atom molecular dynamics simulations (MD) and small-angle x-ray scattering experiments (SAXS) to elucidate the molecular structure of the model polyelectrolyte homogalacturonan. Several degrees of polymerization were studied and

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the glycosyl hydrolase family 1 genes in Medicago sativa revealed their potential roles in response to multiple abiotic stresses

BMC Genomics
Glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1) β-glucosidases (BGLUs), are encoded by a large number of genes, which participate in the development and stress response of plants, particularly under biotic and abiotic stresses through the activation of phytohormones.

Expression of mannanase and glucanases in lettuce chloroplasts and functional evaluation of enzyme cocktail against Candida albicans in oral cancer patient samples

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Transplastomic expression of mannanase in lettuce and tobacco chloroplasts and inhibition of Candida albicans from oral cancer patient samples by plant enzyme cocktail. Summary Candida albicans is a human pathogen responsible for several diseases. C. albicans cell wall contains chitin, glucan and mannan.

Transglycosylation by Glycoside Hydrolases - Production and modification of alkyl glycosides [PDF]

, 2015
To enable the transition to a green, bio-based economy, an extensive enzymatic toolbox competitive to traditional chemical procedures is needed. One strong area for enzymes is carbohydrate chemistry, due to the over-functionalized nature of carbohydrates, difficult to handle in traditional chemistry.
