Abstract

Introduction of a novel method for the quantification of the cellobiose released made it possible to follow the initial stage of hydrolysis of bacterial microcrystalline cellulose (BMCC) by cellobiohydrolases 1,4‐β‐ D‐glucan‐cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I) and 1,4‐β‐ D‐glucan‐cellobiohydrolase II (CBH II) from Trichoderma reesei. A drastic retardation of the rate of the hydrolysis was observed already at a very low degree of conversion. Earlier‐suggested retardation factors, such as product inhibition by cellobiose or enzyme inactivation, could be discounted as primary causes for the pattern. A model including steric hindrance by non‐productive binding and erosion of the cellulose surface during the processive action of exoenzymes was proposed to describe the rate retardation observed. Simultaneous action of CBH I and CBH II on cellulose was not a prerequisite for synergy between them.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
