Description
E1 catalyzes the conversion of cellulose into smaller fragments by making internal cuts in the cellulose chain. It can be used in conjunction with exoglucanases for the direct conversion of cellulose into monomeric glucose. The polymerization of the protein is monomeric with an optimal temperature and pH over a wide range (unpublished data). The genbank ascension number for this protein is WP_011719450.1 (amino acid) and a PDB code of 1ECE. This construct was codon optimized for E. coli.
