Engineering better biomass-degrading ability into a GH11 xylanase using a directed evolution strategy

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Improving the hydrolytic performance of hemicellulases on lignocellulosic biomass is of considerable importance for second-generation biorefining. To address this problem, and also to gain greater understanding of structure-function...
