Altering the linker in processive GH5 endoglucanase 1 modulates lignin binding and catalytic properties

Abstract Background The non-productive adsorption of cellulases onto lignin in biomass is a key issue for the biofuel process economy. It would be helpful to reduce the inhibitory effect of lignin on enzymatic hydrolysis by engineering weak lignin-binding cellulases. Cellulase linkers are highly div...
