Properties
Description
β-Glucosidase from Agrobacterium sp. is responsible for hydrolyzing the glycosidic bonds of cellobiose to give rise to glucose, which is crucial for the effective use of cellulose.
Molecular Weight
52.2 kDa
Unit Definition
One unit of β-glucosidase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one µmole of p-nitrophenol (pNP) per minute from p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (10 mM) in sodium maleate buffer (50 mM), pH 6.5 at 40°C.
Applications
β-Glucosidase from Agrobacterium sp. can be used in carbohydrate research and biofuel industries.
