In silico studies on bacterial xylanase enzyme: Structural and functional insight.

ABSTRACT: Xylans are the second most abundant form of hemicelluloses and are the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature after cellulose. To degrade xylan, microbes produce mainly xylanase enzyme. Wide range of microorganisms like fungi, bacteria, yeast, marine algae etc. are capable of producing xylanase. Main source of xylanase is fungi but industrial production of bacterial xylanase is low cost, easy downstream process and high production rate. To understand primary, secondary and tertiary structure of xylanase, in silico composition of amino acids, basic physiological characteristics; viz., pI, molecular weight, instability index, GRAVY, molar extinction coefficient, secondary structure, presence of functional domain and motifs, phylogenetic tree, salt bridge compositions are
