Abstract excerpt
Processive endoglucanases have generated significant interest due to their bifunctionality in the degradation of cellulose and low product inhibition. However, enhancing their catalytic efficiency through engineering remains a formidable challenge. To address this bottleneck, our engineering efforts targeted loop regions located in the substrate channel of processive endoglucanase EG5C-1. Guided by a comparative...
