Molecular basis for the preferential recognition of β1,3‐1,4‐glucans by the family 11 carbohydrate‐binding module from Clostridium thermocellum

Understanding the specific molecular interactions between proteins and β1,3‐1,4‐mixed‐linked d ‐glucans is fundamental to harvest the full biological and biotechnological potential of these carbohydrates and of proteins that specifically recognize them. The family 11 carbohydrate‐binding module from Clostridium thermocellum ( Ct CBM11) is known for its binding preference for β1,3‐1,4‐mixed‐linked over β1,4‐linked glucans. Despite the growing...
