Dw. Kim et Yg. Hong, Ionic strength effect on adsorption of cellobiohydrolases I and II on microcrystalline cellulose, BIOTECH LET, 22(16), 2000, pp. 1337-1342
Cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I) has a higher adsorption affinity (K-ad) and tig
htness (-Delta H-a) for Avicel than cellobiohydrolase II (CBH II). The adso
rption processes of CBH I and II were exothermic, and the degree of exother
my were larger with the increasing ionic strength. Entropy change of CBH I
was larger than CBH II with increasing ionic strength. CBH I was more effec
tive than CBH II for binding at a given ionic strength.
