Directed modification of β-mannanase substrate affinity based on rational design by Wei Xihuan, Wang Chunjuan, Zhao Mei, Li Jianfang, Wu Minchen

“…Recently, they have attracted much attention due to their great potential applications in industrial processes, such as bioleaching pulps, depolymerizing ant-i nutritional factors in feedstuffs, extracting oils from leguminous seeds, hydrolyzing mannanbased polymers in hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells, and producing mannooligosaccharides. However, most of commercial β-mannanases had some shortages in enzymatic properties, such as lower substrate affinity and poorer tolerance to extreme environments, which hindered the development of β-mannanases.A GH family 5 β-mannanase (AuMan5A) from Aspergillus usamii YL-01-78 was used as the object of this study. …”
