Application

Thiocellobiose is a glucose disaccharide linked via a β(1-4) thioether bond. Thiocellobiose is a cellulase inducer and inhibitor useful to identify, differentiate and characterize cellobiose-active β-glucosidase(s). Thiocellobiose is also used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize cellobiose dehydrogenase(s).

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is an extracellular hemoflavoenzyme produced by several wood-degrading fungi. In the presence of a suitable electron acceptor, e.g., 2,6-dichloro-indophenol (DCIP), cytochrome c, or metal ions, CDH oxidizes cellobiose to cellobionolactone. The phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotium rolfsii (teleomorph: Athelia

Enzymes that degrade cellulose into glucose are one of the most expensive components of processes for converting cellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. Cellulase enzyme Cel7A is the most abundant enzyme naturally employed by fungi to depolymerize cellulose, and like

Substrate structural mapping suggests that the catalytic site of cellobiose dehydrogenase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium forms a narrow cave with two hexose binding subsites. Kinetic data also show that beta-di or oligosaccharides are favored electron donors with respect to both KM

The conformation of 4-thiocellobiose bound to beta-glucosidase from Streptomyces sp. has been studied by 1H-NMR transferred nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (TR-NOE). Thiocellobiose behaves as an inhibitor of this glucosidase when cellobiose is used as substrate. NOE measurements and molecular mechanics

Several mono-, di, tetra-, and polysaccharides were screened for their ability to induced cellulase production by the tetrapolar hymenomycete Schizophyllum commune. Out of 21 carbohydrates screened, 4 (thiocellobiose, carboxymethylcellulose, cellobiose, and xylan) induced all three enzymes tested (carboxymethylcellulase, beta-glucosidase, and
