U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Use of Cellulose Binding and Degrading Enzymes for Surface Analysis and Structural Modification of Cellulosic Fiber Surfaces

9417356 Eriksson该奖项支持乔治亚大学Karl-Erik Eriksson博士和东京大学Masahiro Samejima博士为期两年的合作研究项目。本合作研究项目的目的是构建一种用于纤维素表面分析的新型酶系统。研究人员打算利用纤维素表面分析的两个特点：对底物的高特异性和高催化活性。这也将有必要进一步表征免疫定位研究的特异性抗体，以及检查纤维素二糖脱氢酶（CDH）在各种工业过程中纤维素的实际应用。该提案汇集了来自两个国家的研究木材生化特性的科学家。Eriksson博士的团队在包括CDH在内的纤维素水解酶的生物化学方面拥有丰富的知识和经验。Samejima博士领导的团队致力于纤维素和纸浆的酶表面分析。通过结合这些专业知识，两组可以获得比单独任何一组更深入的理解和更快的进展。因此，该提案通过国际合作实现了该计划在科学知识交流和转移方面的目标。＊＊＊

9417356 Eriksson This award supports a two-year cooperative research project between Dr. Karl-Erik Eriksson of the University of Georgia and Dr. Masahiro Samejima of the University of Tokyo. The objective of this cooperative research project is to construct a new enzymatic system for cellulose surface analysis. The investigators intend to exploit two characteristics for cellulose surface analysis: high specificity for substrate and high catalytic activity. It will also be necessary to further characterize specific antibodies for immunolocalization studies as well as to examine the practical application of cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDH) to celluloses from a variety of industrial processes. This proposal brings together research scientists from two countries working on the biochemical properties of wood. Dr. Eriksson s group has extensive knowledge and experience in biochemistry of cellulolytic enzymes including CDH. The team led by Dr. Samejima has worked on enzymatic surface analysis of cellulose and pulp. By combining these expertises, the two groups can achieve a deeper understanding and more rapid progress than can either group alone. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***
