General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy eficiency and waste prevention when used in cellulosic ethanol research. For more information see the article in biofiles.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-glucanases degrade β-1,4-glucans of cellulose, xyloglucan and β-1,4-xylan.

Other Notes

One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme which will release 1 μmole of reducing sugar equivalents (expressed as glucose) per minute at pH 5.0 and 55 °C, using β-D-glucan (Cat. No. 49102) as substrate

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. what will be the site of cleavage action of this particular enzyme in the glucan polysaccharides?

    1 answer

    1. The specific cleavage site of glucan polysaccarides is not determined for this B-Glucanase. While this enzyme is considered an endoglucanase, the product is a mixture and not a purified form. The activity is determined using Glucan from Barley as a substrate, see product 49102.

      Please see the link below to review additional information available for EX 3.2.1.6 at BRENDA:

  2. I would like to know if this product digest beta 1-4 glucan or beta 1-3 glucan or both.

    1 answer

    1. As mentioned in the 'DESCRIPTION' section of the product page, under 'Biochem/physiol Actions', this product specifically degrades ?-1,4-glucans. Should a glucanase that degrades beta 1-3 glucan be required, please see product 67138 at the link below:
