Immobilization of cellulose fibrils on solid substrates for cellulase‐binding studies through quantitative fluorescence microscopy

Cellulases, enzymes capable of depolymerizing cellulose polymers into fermentable sugars, are essential components in the production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic materials. Given the importance of these enzymes to the evolving biofuel industry considerable research effort is focused on understanding the interaction between cellulases and cellulose fibrils. This manuscript presents a method that addresses challenges that must be overcome …
