Article Synopsis
- The initial hydrolysis of cellulose occurs rapidly but slows down significantly, taking days to complete, mainly due to the action of cellobiohydrolases.
- Researchers examined the early hydrolysis kinetics of three endo-glucanases (EGs) using isothermal calorimetry, revealing an initial burst phase where enzyme activity is significantly higher than later stages.
- The burst effect is notably strong for TrCel7B, which shows high turnover rates, and the slow down in activity is suggested to be caused by temporary inactivation of the enzyme on the cellulose surface.
