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 used as enzyme for alternative energy. For more information see the Enzymes for Alternative Energy Research.

Application

Cellulase (β-1,4-glucanase) is a natural enzyme produced by the filamentous fungi Trichoderma viride which promotes the endohydrolysis of (1→4)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in cellulose and lichenin. Cellulases are important for processing potential commercial products such as cellulosic ethanol.

Other Notes

One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of glucose from cellulose in one hour at pH 5.0 at 37 °C (2 hr incubation time).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. Hi, I was wondering how to prepare the enzyme solution? Can I just dilute it on PBS? Thanks

    1 answer
    1. For testing purposes, this product is prepared in cold deionized water. While PBS has not been tested as a solvent, the enzyme is expected to be soluble. Please see the link below to review the assay protocol for cellulase and hemicellulase:
