✦ Synopsis
their thermal instability and slow catalytic activity (which made them expensive to use). In order to create the new enzymes, the researchers used a technique called structure guided combination (a computeraided process for identifying gene recombination sites). Using the 3 fungal cellulases already known, the researchers managed to create 6000+. The partners are now planning to use their computerized system to optimize a mix of enzymes for the industrial production of second generation cellulosic ethanol derived from straw or wood.
