Molecular docking of Bacillus pumilus xylanase and xylan substrate using computer modeling / 生物工程学报

ABSTRACT

Bacillus pumilus xylanase was cloned and sequenced. Based on the tertiary structure that originated from homology modeling, the potential active pocket was searched and ligand-protein docking was performed using relative softwares. The information extracted from the molecular docking is analyzed; several amino acid residues might play a vital role in the xylanase catalytic reaction are obtained to instruct the further modification of xylanase directed-evolution.
