Crystal Structures of Bacterial Pectin Methylesterases Pme8A and PmeC2 from Rumen <i>Butyrivibrio</i>

Pectin is a complex polysaccharide that forms a substantial proportion of the plant’s middle lamella of forage ingested by grazing ruminants. Methanol in the rumen is derived mainly from methoxy groups released from pectin by the action of pectin methylesterase (PME) and is subsequently used by rume...
