The production of sugars by the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is a two-step process that includes conversion of the intermediate cellobiose to glucose by p-glucosidase. The hydrolysis was followed by analyzing the two sugar products (cellobiose and glucose). The enzyme showed maximum activity at
Nonlinear kinetics are commonly observed in the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. This nonlinearity could be explained by any or all of the following three factors: enzyme inactivation, product inhibition, or substrate heterogeneity. In this study, four different approaches were applied to test the
## Abstract The slow down in enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose with conversion has often been attributed to declining reactivity of the substrate as the more easily reacted material is thought to be consumed preferentially. To better understand the cause of this phenomenon, the enzymatic reaction o
