Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Oxidation of Native and Modified Hemoglobin and Myoglobin by Sodium Nitrate. Effect of Inositol Hexaphosphate [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
Native and modified hemoglobin, myoglobin and a and phemoglobin subunits were oxidized by sodium nitrite at pH 6. The experiments were carried out under oxy and deoxy conditions with and without inositol hexaphosphate (IHP).

Effect of particle size on the surface properties and morphology of ground flax [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Flax fibers were ground with a ball-mill and four fractions with different size ranges were collected by sieving. These were tested for water sorption, degree of polymerization (DP), copper number, hydroxyl number and analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD),

Oxidized Cellulose and Thrombin

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1944
SummaryOxidized cellulose injures thrombin due to its acidity. After neutralization with sodium bicarbonate it can be mixed with thrombin without altering activity. Highly oxidized cellulose contains products capable of destroying thrombin even in neutral solutions.

Enzyme Activities of Five White-Rot Fungi in the Presence of Nanocellulose

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
White-rot fungi can degrade all lignocellulose components due to their potent lignin and cellulose-degrading enzymes. In this study, five white-rot fungi, Trametes versicolor, Trametes pubescens, Ganoderma adspersum, Ganoderma lipsiense, and Rigidoporus ...
