Publication number: 20150024465Abstract: The present invention relates to non-catalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBM) belonging to a new family of CBM's. A CBM of the invention was found attached to a glycosyl hydrolase family 61 (GH61) polypeptide and was shown to have little homology with known CBM's indicating that it is the first known member of a new family of CBM's. The present invention further relates to CBM's preferably exhibiting binding affinity for cellulose; to a method of producing such CBM's; and to methods for using such CBM's in the textile, detergent and cellulose fiber processing industries, for purification of polypeptides, immobilisation of active enzymes, baking, manufacturing of biofuel, modification of plant cell walls.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2014Publication date: January 22, 2015Inventors: Kirk Matthew Schnorr, Lars Lehmann Hylling Christensen
