The enzyme beta-xylosidase from Trichoderma reesei, a member of glycosil hydrolase family 3 (GH3), is a glycoside hydrolase which acts at the glycosidic linkages of 1,4-beta-xylooligosaccharides and that also exhibits alpha-l-arabinofuranosidase activity on 4-nitrophenyl alpha-l-arabinofuranoside. In this work, we show that the enzyme forms monomers in solution and derive the low-resolution molecular envelope of the beta-xylosidase from small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data using the ab initio simulated annealing algorithm. The radius of gyration and the maximum dimension of the beta-xylosidase are 30.
