Molecular docking analysis of cellulose from Bacillus species with cellotetraose

Cellulose is an unbranched glucose polymer and has great potential for bioconversion to value-added bio products. Cellulose is the most dominating agricultural waste that can be degraded by cellulase which is produced by cellulolytic bacteria such as the Bacillus species. The binding efficacy with the substrate suggests the choice of the substrate that can be used for various industrial applications such as biofuel production, food and feed industry, brewing, pulp and paper, textile, laundry and agriculture. Therefore, it is of interest to describe the molecular docing analysis of cellobiose, cellotetriose, cellotetraose and laminaribiose with different cellulosederivatives such as endo-1, 4-beta-D-glucanase, exo-1, 4-beta-D-glucanase and beta-glucosidase. Thus, the molecular binding features of cellulase with cellotetraose are reported.
