Understanding the adsorption mechanism of cellulases and associated binding domain proteins down to the molecular level details will help in the rational design of improved cellulases. In nature, carbohydrate-binding modules of several endocellulases.

Both CBMs are known to bind to the amorphous regions of cellulose non-competitively and show similar binding affinity towards soluble cello-oligosaccharides. Based on the available crystal structures, these CBMs may display a uni-directional binding preference towards cello-oligosaccharides However, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have indicated no such clear preference. Considering that most soluble oligosaccharides are not always an ideal substrate surrogate to study the binding of CBMs to the native cell wall or cell surface displayed glycans, it is critical to use alternative reagents or substrates. To better understand the binding of type B CBMs towards smaller cello-oligosaccharides, we have developed a simple solid-state depletion or pull-down binding assay. Here, we specifically orient azido-labeled carbohydrates from the reducing end to alkyne-labeled micron-sized bead surfaces, using click chemistry, to mimic insoluble cell wall surface-displayed glycans. Our results reveal that both family 17 and 28 CBMs displayed a similar binding affinity towards cellohexaose-modified beads, but not cellopentaose-modified beads, which helps rationalize previously reported crystal structure and MD data. This may indicate a preferred uni-directional binding of specific CBMs and could explain their co-evolution as tandem constructs appended to endocellulases to increase amorphous cellulose substrate targeting efficiency.

Overall, our proposed workflow can be easily translated to measure the affinity of glycan-binding proteins to click-chemistry based immobilized surface-displayed carbohydrates or antigens.Conflict of interest statement Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this Synthesis of beta-D-glucose oligosaccharides from Phytophthora parasitica.beta-D-Glcp-(1--3)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1--3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1--3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1--6)]-beta-D-Glcp-(1--3)-D-Glcp, was synthesized as its allyl glycoside via 3+3 strategy. 2'-FL -tetra-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1--3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1--3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (11), was obtained by 3-selective coupling of isopropyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1--3)-2-O-acetyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (6), followed by hydrolysis, acetylation, dethiolation, and trichloroacetimidation.

As the human genome sequence is nearly deciphered, it is important to turn the attention to the physiological functions of the genes. Thus, the study of the gene products, the proteins, is the next big challenge. The proteins, however, are not the final gene products in many cases.
