Fig. 1From: Lignin impairs Cel7A degradation of in vitro lignified cellulose by impeding enzyme movement and not by acting as a sinkPotential inhibition mechanisms. Lignin may inhibit Cel7A on cellulose by blocking binding of enzymes to cellulose, by impeding the progress of enzymes bound to cellulose, or by acting as a sink by nonspecifically adsorbing enzymesBack to article page
