Illustration of a palladium ion (blue sphere) bound to the active site of a beta-1, 4-endoglucanase from the fungus Aspergillus niger. This enzyme breaks down cellulose, the main component of plant cell walls, into monosaccharides (simple sugars). Binding of palladium inactivates the enzyme. A. niger is the main source for industrial cellulase. | |
