Abstract excerpt
The beta-glucosidase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus (CelB) is the most thermostable and thermoactive family 1 glycosylhydrolase described to date. To obtain more insight in the molecular determinants of adaptations to high temperatures and study the possibility of optimizing low-temperature activity of a hyperthermostable enzyme, we generated a library of random CelB mutants in...
