Molecular docking of Cellobiose and Cellotetraose into an Endoglucanase from Fusarium oxysporum

Endoglucanase is one of the three enzymes required to synergistically hydrolyze cellulose to sugar monomers which can be fermented into ethanol. Hence efforts to improve the efficiency of this enzyme, using experimental and computational approaches have been continuing vigorously. We have cloned...
