Improving the thermostability of a fungal GH11 xylanase via site-directed mutagenesis guided by sequence and structural analysis

Abstract Background Xylanases have been widely employed in many industrial processes, and thermophilic xylanases are in great demand for meeting the high-temperature requirements of biotechnological treatments. In this work, we aim to improve the thermostability of XynCDBFV, a glycoside hydrolase (G...
