Tunnel engineering to accelerate product release for better biomass-degrading abilities in lignocellulolytic enzymes

Abstract Background For enzymes with buried active sites, transporting substrates/products ligands between active sites and bulk solvent via access tunnels is a key step in the catalytic cycle of these enzymes. Thus, tunnel engineering is becoming a powerful strategy to refine the catalytic properti...
