Non-productive adsorption of cellulases onto lignins is an important mechanism that negatively affects the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose biomass. Here, we examined the non-productive adsorption of two bacterial β-glucosidases (GH1 and GH3) on lignins. The results showed that β-glucosidases can adsorb to lignins through different mechanisms. GH1 β-glucosidase adsorption onto lignins was found to be strongly pH-dependent, suggesting that the adsorption is electrostatically modulated. For GH3 β-glucosidase, the results suggested that the fibronectin type III-like domain interacts with lignins through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions that can partially, or completely, overcome repulsive electrostatic forces between the catalytic domain and lignins. Finally, the increase of temperature did not result in the increase of β-glucosidases adsorption, probably because there is no significant increase in hydrophobic regions in the β-glucosidases structures. The data provided here can be useful for biotechnological applications, especially in the field of plant structural polysaccharides conversion into bioenergy and bioproducts.

Article Synopsis
- Surfactants can improve the enzymatic breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass, leading to more sugar yield with less enzyme needed, but how they interact with lignin and cellulase remains unclear.
- A combination of non-ionic and cationic surfactants notably reduced the non-productive attachment of lignin to cellulase—by up to 55%—while promoting conditions that favor cellulase activity.
- The effectiveness of these surfactants in diminishing lignin's impact on cellulases is influenced by lignin's properties, suggesting that future research can inform better surfactant or additive designs for more efficient biomass processing.

Article Synopsis
- * Modified lignin has been shown to speed up enzymatic hydrolysis by reducing the negative impact of fermentation inhibitors and non-productive cellulase adsorption; however, selecting the right type of modified lignin is essential for minimizing these issues effectively.
- * This review discusses how different lignin modifications can affect enzymatic hydrolysis, leveraging advanced theories to propose methods for optimizing both the detoxification of fermentation inhibitors and the efficiency of sugar extraction, ultimately enhancing bioethanol production.

Enzymatic hydrolysis is important for lignocellulosic biomass conversion into fermentable sugars. However, the nonproductive adsorption of enzyme on lignin was major hinderance for the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency. In this study, non-productive adsorption mechanism of cellulase component cellobiohydrolase (CBH) onto lignin was specific investigated.

Glycosylation, a general post-translational modification for fungal cellulase, has been shown to affect cellulase binding to its substrate. However, the exact impact of glycosylation on cellulase-lignin interaction remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that the lignin isolated from tetrahydrofuran-pretreated corn stover exhibits strong adsorption capability to cellulase due to its negatively charged and porous structure.

PET hydrolases are an emerging class of enzymes that are being heavily researched for their use in bioprocessing polyethylene terephthalate (PET). While work has been done in studying the binding of PET oligomers to the active site of these enzymes, the dynamics of PET hydrolases binding to a bulk PET surface is an unexplored area. Here, methods were developed for total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) microscopy to study the adsorption and desorption dynamics of these proteins onto a PET surface.
