Biology in Space and Time (BioSaT) Research Campaign


EMSL Project ID
49220

Abstract

Significant research effort is currently aimed at developing cost effective plant biomass deconstruction for biofuel production. Moreover, the recalcitrance of plant cell walls to rapid degradation plays an important role in global carbon cycling. We propose to utilize NWChem QM simulations to understand the catalytic mechanism of several biomass deconstruction enzymes.
