Unraveling the molecular mechanism of polysaccharide lyases for efficient alginate degradation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAlginate lyases (ALs) catalyze the depolymerization of brown macroalgae alginates, widely used naturally occurring polysaccharides. Their molecular reaction mechanism remains elusive due to the lack of catalytically competent Michaelis-Menten-like ...
