Abstract
Essential carboxyl residues were identified in the active site of an endo-b eta-l,4-xylanase isolated from Trichoderma longibrachiatum. Tryptophan resi dues were implicated in catalysis but were not essential for activity. Tyro sine residues were not involved in catalysis. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd . All rights reserved.
