Download or read book Cellulosome written by Vladimir N. Uversky and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A combination of biochemical, biophysical, immunochemical and ultrastructural techniques, followed by molecular biological verification, led to the definition and proof of the cellulosome concept. The birth of the discrete, multi-enzyme cellulosome complex was thus documented. Today, cellulosomes have been confirmed in numerous but not all cellulolytic bacteria. The cellulosome-producing strains exhibit surprising diversity in the composition and architecture of the component parts.
