Abstract excerpt
1,3-1,4-beta-Glucanases (or lichenases, EC 3.2.1.73) hydrolyse linear beta-glucans containing beta-1,3 and beta-1,4 linkages such as cereal beta-glucans and lichenan, with a strict cleavage specificity for beta-1,4 glycosidic bonds on 3-O-substituted glucosyl residues. The bacterial enzymes are retaining glycosyl hydrolases of family 16 with a jellyroll beta-sandwich fold and a substrate binding cleft composed of...
