Macromolecular interaction: pectin, pectin methylesterase and ��-lactoglobulin
Pectin is a complex polysaccharide found in the plant cell wall. Pathogenic bacteria express a set of enzymes called pectin methylesterase, which start the dismantling of the plant cell wall by de-esterifying homogalacturonan chains in pectin. The efficacy of pectin methylesterase in favouring plant...
