Properties
Description
Recombinant Clostridium thermocellum acetyl xylan esterase 4A1 produced by Escherichia coli, with ligand specificity of amorphous cellulose, cellulosic carbohydrates, is a type of enzyme protein produced in Escherichia coli. It has multiple modules that specifically bind to carbohydrate substrates in order to carry out their function.
Expression System
Escherichia coli
Species
Clostridium thermocellum
Purity
≥90%, determined by SDS-PAGE.
Activity
Acetyl xylan esterases
Buffer
35 mM NaHepes buffer (pH 7.5), 750 mM NaCl, 200 mM imidazole, 3.5 mM CaCl2, and 25% (v/v) glycerol
Applications
Recombinant Clostridium thermocellum acetyl xylan esterase 4A1 can be used in carbohydrate research and biofuel industries. It participates in the de-esterification of acetylated xylan.
