Chimeric Enzymes with Improved Cellulase Activities

Qi Xu (Inventor), Michael Himmel (Inventor), John Baker (Inventor)

Research output: Patent

Abstract

Nucleic acid molecules encoding chimeric cellulase polypeptides that exhibit improved cellulase activities are disclosed herein. The chimeric cellulase polypeptides encoded by these nucleic acids and methods to produce the cellulases are also described, along with methods of using chimeric cellulases for the conversion of cellulose to sugars such as glucose.
