| Research Abstract |
It is expected that cellulose degrading enzyme prepared from marine fungus, which has salt-and thermo-stability, is to be useful in enzymatic degradation of cellulosic biomass. In this research, it was suggested that these properties were caused by charged amino acids located at protein surface. Especially, the pH range of 6 to 8 is favorable for protein refolding after temperature-induced unfolding.
