Enzymatic deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass is crucial to establishment of the renewable biofuel and bioproduct economy. Better understanding of these enzymes, including their catalytic and binding domains, and other features offer potential avenues for improvement. Glycoside hydrolase family 9 (GH9) enzymes are attractive targets because they have members that exhibit exo- and endo-cellulolytic activity, processivity of reaction, and thermostability.
