Abstract: An articulating frame of an adjustable bedframe is restricted by a safety latch mechanism from pivoting beyond a limited range of motion from its undeployed position unless an actuator lifting assembly mechanism is driving the articulating frame to pivot. Locking tabs and guides mate with each other to restrain the actuator lifting assembly mechanism from moving beyond a limited range of motion unless the actuator lifting assembly mechanism is driving the articulating frame to pivot.

Abstract: The invention refers to polypeptides with polysaccharide monooxygenase activity, to a host cell that expresses them, preferably a Myceliophthora thermophila cell that recombinantly expresses at least one of these polypeptides, to an enzymatic composition comprising at least one of these polypeptides, preferably together with other cellulolytic enzymes, the use of this host cell, of at least one of the polypeptides with polysaccharide monooxygenase activity or of the enzymatic composition for the degradation of cellulosic biomass and to a process for the production of bioproducts, preferably bioethanol, including the use of this host cell, of at least one of the polypeptides of the invention or of the enzymatic composition of the invention.

Abstract: The invention refers to methods and compositions for stabilizing and increasing the activity of enzymatic mixtures comprising GH61 (PMO or polysaccharide monooxigenase) polypeptides used for the degradation of cellulosic material during the saccharification step of biofuel production processes. This improvement is achieved by the addition of a nickel cation to said enzymatic mixtures before and/or during the saccharification step. Thus, the invention provides compositions comprising PMOs, cellulolytic enzymes and a nickel cation, as well as methods for preparing said compositions and methods for producing fermentable sugars and bioproducts, preferably bioethanol, from cellulosic biomass in which said compositions are used.

Abstract: The present invention relates to variants of cellobiohydrolase, preferably Cbh1, which have greater cellobiohydrolase activity.
