From: Lignin impairs Cel7A degradation of in vitro lignified cellulose by impeding enzyme movement and not by acting as a sink

Fig. 6

Models for Cel7A inhibition on cellulose caused by lignin as supported by single-molecule observations. Lignin covering the cellulose surface prevents Cel7A from binding to the cellulose substrate. Lignin on the cellulose surface can either partially or completely diminish the processive movement of Cel7A on cellulose. Lignin does not act as a sink due to the lack of Cel7A accumulation on lignin
