A coarse-grained model for synergistic action of multiple enzymes on cellulose

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Degradation of cellulose to glucose requires the cooperative action of three classes of enzymes, collectively known as cellulases. Endoglucanases randomly bind to cellulose surfaces and generate new chain ends by hydrolyzing β-1,4-D-...
