Performance of CelA and Cel7A on Avicel and DACS at 50 °C. CelA and Cel7A were incubated with Avicel and DACS at 50 °C for 24 and 96 h. β-glucosidase was added to each of these incubations at 5% total protein. Total enzyme doses ranged from 2 to 48 mg/g and glucose concentrations were measured by HPLC. (a,b) show the relative performance of CelA and Cel7A on these two substrates during 96 h incubations. This demonstrates that CelA is considerably better on Avicel than Cel7A even when tested at the temperature optimum of Cel7A. (c and d) show the 24 h and 96 h incubations for CelA and Cel7A, respectively, on DACS plotted as a function of enzyme x time. Model fits to these data are shown here – see Table 6 for parameter values. This demonstrates that the deviation in Et relationship is similar for CelA and Cel7A on DACS when tested at 50 °C.
