Probably the best high-level review of the recent protein engineering activities of the research team that solved the first crystallographic structures for T. reesei cellulases. New structural data for both CBH I and CBH II are interpreted in light of existing kinetic data; providing some new insights into the action of these important enzymes.

35. Discussion of the cellulose surface-erosion model for cellulase hydrolysis is especially compelling and useful for researchers interested in improving native cellulase action.

A mutational strategy based on structural information included replacing residues in a thermolysin-like protease (TLP-ste) with residues found at equivalent positions in thermal stable, naturally occurring variants; as well as rational design. An extremely stable eight-site mutant enzyme was obtained that was able to function at 100°C and in the presence of denaturing agents.
