A detailed study of substrate positioning in family 18 chitinases
Norberg, Anne Line (PhD Thesis;2011:41, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Chitin is a linear polymer consisting of β-1,4-linked N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc; A) units tightly packed in a crystalline structure. It is produced by living organisms in large quantities per year and is a structural ... -
A study of human chitinases with respect to the importance of surface exposed aromatic residues and carbohydrate-binding modules in substrate degradation and role in inflammations
Stockinger, Linn Wilhelmsen (PhD Thesis;2015:63, Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-03)Chitin is an insoluble, linear polymer consisting of β-1, 4-linked N-acetyl-glucosamine units tightly packed in a crystalline structure. It is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, after cellulose, with an ... -
Antifungal activity of chitosan/chitooligosaccharides alone and in combination with chemical fungicides against fungal pathogens
Rahman, Md. Hafizur (PhD Thesis;2013:12, Doctoral thesis, 2013)Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr. is an economically important pathogen causing gray mold in over 200 plants species worldwide, including strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). In Norway, gray mold is economically the most important ... -
An investigation of the interplay between in situ hydrogen peroxide production and catalytic efficiency in lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase reactions
Stepnov, Anton (PhD thesis;2022:27, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono-copper enzymes that catalyze oxidative depolymerization of recalcitrant carbohydrate substrates, such as chitin and cellulose. LPMOs have received much attention from ... -
Kinetic investigations of the oxidative cleavage of oligomeric carbohydrates provide novel insights into the catalytic action of fungal lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
Rieder, Lukas (PhD Thesis;2021:61, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are a recently discovered class of redoxactive mono-copper enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in recalcitrant plant or chitin-based biomass, ... -
Thermodynamic aspects of processive enzymatic degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides
Hamre, Anne Grethe (PhD Thesis;2015:46, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-13)Carbohydrates play diverse, essential roles in all known organisms. These include roles in storage and structure as well as specific signaling roles. One carbohydrate can be linked to other carbohydrates or functional ...
