Bacterial polysaccharide lyase family 33: Specificity from an evolutionarily conserved binding tunnel
Eukaryotic organisms are the main producers of acidic glycans, which are involved in many biological processes. Bacteria have developed enzymes capable of degrading these complex sugars, polysaccharide lyases. This work focused on the biochemical and structural characterization of a family of these enzymes, PL33, and in particular revealed the proximity between PL33 and eukaryotic epimerases […]
Electrospinning of Cellulose Benzyl Carbamates for Enantioselective Membrane Filtration
In recent years, we have shown the potential of electrospun nanofibrous membranes made of polysaccharidic chiral selectors (CSs) for efficient chiral resolutions via filtrations. It is thus of great importance to expand the number of membranes made of various CSs for the resolution of a wide range of chiral compounds. In this article by Dr […]
