Abstract

The enzymatic degradation of β(1 → 4) xylan single crystals with xylanases was investigated by electron microscopy and electron diffraction. The enzyme attack takes place at the edge of the crystals and progresses towards their centers. This is consistent with an endo‐enzyme mechanism, where the enzyme interacts essentially with the accessible xylan chains located at the crystal periphery.

The nonbonded interaction energy was computed for xylobiose and xylan as a function of the dihedral angles (+,$). The energy maps indicate that interactions higher than the second neighbor are negligible. Of the four possibilities, the left-handed helical conformation with (+,$) = (63",25") is of th
