Effect of hemicellulose and lignin on enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose from brewer's spent grain

TLDR
In this paper, the effect of hemicellulose and lignin on cellulose conversion into glucose was investigated using a commercial cellulase concentrate (Celluclast 1.5L) in an enzyme/substrate ratio of 45 FPU/g, 2% (w/v) substrate concentration, 45°C for 96h.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding

TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.

TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biological degradation of cellulose

TL;DR: The study of cellulolytic enzymes at the molecular level has revealed some of the features that contribute to their activity and an increasing number of three-dimensional structures are becoming available for cellulases and xylanases belonging to different families, which will provide paradigms for molecular modeling of related enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fundamental factors affecting biomass enzymatic reactivity.

TL;DR: An empirical model was identified that describes the roles of lignin content, acetyl contents, and crystallinity indices in enzymatic hydrolysis and the digestibility of several lime-treated biomass samples agreed with the empirical model.
