Journal ArticleDOI

A simple process for lignin nanoparticle preparation

TL;DR: In this paper, a straightforward method to produce lignin nanoparticles from waste lignins obtained from kraft pulping is introduced, which is a natural biopolymer obtained mainly as a byproduct from pulp and paper-making industries, and is primarily burned to produce energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of functionally important amino acids in the cellulose-binding domain of Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase I.

TL;DR: It was found that at least two tyrosine residues and a glutamine residue on the flat face were essential for tight binding of the CBD to cellulose, although in some cases decreased binding could clearly be ascribed to conformational perturbations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crosslinking food proteins for improved functionality.

TL;DR: Different possibilities for protein crossl linking are examined in this review, with special emphasis on enzymatic crosslinking and its impact on food structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of Protein−Oligosaccharide Conjugates by Laccase and Tyrosinase

TL;DR: Indications of hetero-cross-link formation between alpha-casein and hOSX by both oxidative enzymes could be visualized by glycoprotein-specific staining in the SDS-PAGE analysis, although ThL was observed to be more effective in the heteroconjugate formation than TrT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laccase-catalyzed polymerization of tyrosine-containing peptides.

TL;DR: In addition to homopolymers, different heteropolymers containing two or four FA residues were formed in the reactions, and only small amounts of dityrosine bonds were detected in the polymers.
