Description
BBa_K2139018 encompass the coding region for an endo-beta-1,4-glucanase known as G12. G12 catalyzes the conversion of cellulose into smaller fragments by making internal cuts in the cellulose chain. It can be used in conjunction with exoglucanases for the direct conversion of cellulose into monomeric glucose. The polymerization of the protein is monomeric with an optimal temperature of 50 degrees Celsius and an optimal pH ranging from 6 to 8. The genbank ascension number for this protein is ABK52392.1 (amino acid) and a PDB code of 1H0B_A (homolog).
