Table 3 Rate constants and relevant parameters for characterizing and exo-cellulase

From: A coarse-grained model for synergistic action of multiple enzymes on cellulose

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
