Open AccessProminent members of the human gut microbiota express endo-acting O-glycanases to initiate mucin breakdown
The thick mucus layer of the gut provides a barrier to infiltration of the underlying epithelia by both the normal microbiota and enteric pathogens. Some members of the microbiota utilise mucin glycoproteins a...

Open AccessMolecular characterization of a family 5 glycoside hydrolase suggests an induced-fit enzymatic mechanism
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) play fundamental roles in the decomposition of lignocellulosic biomaterials. Here, we report the full-length structure of a cellulase from Bacillus licheniformis (BlCel5B), a member of ...
