DESCRIPTION

Acetylxylan esterase (Orpinomyces sp.)

EC 3.1.1.72
CAZy Family: CE6
CAS: 188959-24-2 / 9000-82-2

Synonyms
acetylxylan esterase

Form:
In 3.2 M ammonium sulphate.

Stability:
> 2 years at 4^oC.

Specific activity:
~ 290 U/mg (40^oC, pH 6.7 on 4-nitrophenyl acetate).

Unit definition:
One Unit of acetylxylan esterase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one μmole of p-nitrophenol per minute from 4-nitrophenyl acetate in sodium phosphate buffer (100 mM), pH 6.7 at 40^oC.

Specificity:
Catalyses the hydrolysis of acetyl groups from polymeric xylan, acetylated xylose, acetylated glucose, α-napthyl acetate and 4-nitrophenyl acetate but not from triacetylglycerol. Does not act on acetylated mannan or pectin.

Applications:
Applications established in carbohydrate research and biofuel industries.
