Analysis of the effect of metal ions on the ability of Xylanase to hydrolyze wheat bran by molecular dynamics simulations.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Wheat bran is the main by-product of wheat processing, containing about 30% pentosan and 0.4%-0.7% ferulic acid. Wheat bran is the main raw material used to prepare feruloyl oligosaccharides by hydrolysis of Xylanase, we discovered that the ability of Xylanase to hydrolyze wheat bran could be affected in the presence of different metal ions. Methods: In the present study, we have probed the effects of different metal ions on the hydrolysis activity of Xylanase on wheat bran and tried to analyze the effect of Mn²⁺ and Xylanase by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. Results: Our results suggested that Mn²⁺ had improved the Xylanase hydrolyzing wheat bran to obtain feruloyl oligosaccharides. Particularly when the concentration of Mn
