Nomenclature | |
---|---|
k on | adsorption rate constant |
k off | desorption rate constant |
k offfast | a higher desorption rate constant than k off |
α | probability for the exo-cellulase to desorb from cellulose |
t hbbreak | time for an exo-cellulase to break a single inter-chain hydrogen bond |
t move | time for an exo-cellulase to hydrolyze a glycosidic bond and slide one cellobiose unit along the glucan chain |
t stay | time for an exo-cellulase to remain at a certain location |
