O-GlcNAcase:promiscuous hexosaminidase or key regulator of O-GlcNAc signalling? [PDF]
O-GlcNAc signaling is regulated by an opposing pair of enzymes: O-GlcNAc transferase installs and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) removes the modification from proteins.

My Times with Professor Igor Kregar and some Hydrolytic Enzymes
The late Professor Igor Kregar and this author had several overlapping biochemical research interests. One focus was the glycoside hydrolase, lysozyme, and the other was proteolytic enzymes and their inhibitors, in particular those present in tissues ...

Microbial xylanases and their inhibition by specific proteins in cereals
Arabinoxylans (AXs) belong to the components of plant cells which are mainly degraded by microbial xylanases during colonization of grain by phytopathogens.

Glycoside hydrolase activities of thermophilic bacterial consortia adapted to switchgrass [PDF]
Industrial-scale biofuel production requires robust enzymatic cocktails to produce fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic biomass. Thermophilic bacterial consortia are a potential source of cellulases and hemicellulases adapted to harsher reaction ...
