| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study has succeeded in elucidating a role and a reaction mechanism of swollenin in degradation of cellulose by cellulases. In addition, it was revealed that structural change of cellulose by the action of swollenin and succeeded in finding the difference with the reaction mechanisms of cellulases. These results provide new reaction mechanism of protein involved in cellulose degradation, and are useful as a factor to promote enzymatic degradation of cellulose.
