6© 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature. All rights reserved.Light-induced oxidation of water by photosystem II in plants, algae and cyanobacteria has generated most of the dioxygen in the atmosphere. PS II, a membrane-bound multi-subunit pigment protein complex, couples the one-electron photochemistry at the reaction centre with the four-electron redox chemistry of water oxidation at the Mn 4 CaO 5 cluster in the oxygen-evolving complex. Under illumination, the OEC cycles t…Read more

6© 2015 Walker et al.Background: Carbohydrate binding modules bind polysaccharides and help target glycoside hydrolases catalytic domains to their appropriate carbohydrate substrates. To better understand how CBMs can improve cellulolytic enzyme reactivity, representatives from each of the 18 families of CBM found in Ruminoclostridium thermocellum were fused to the multifunctional GH5 catalytic domain of CelE, which can hydrolyze numerous types of polysaccharides including cellulose, mannan, and …Read more
