Usage

Description

Driselase is a natural mixture of enzyme activities, specifically fungal carbohydrolases, that are used to break down plant cell walls. This enzymatic action aids in the maceration of plant materials, the formation of protoplasts, and various extraction processes. Driselase is particularly effective at releasing cell wall carbohydrates, making it a valuable tool in research and industrial applications.

Uses

Used in Plant Material Maceration:
Driselase is used as a maceration agent for plant materials to facilitate the breakdown of cell walls, which is essential for various applications in research and industry.
Used in Protoplast Formation:
Driselase is utilized as a protoplast formation agent, enabling the creation of protoplasts from plant cells, which is a critical step in certain biological and genetic studies.
Used in Extraction Processes:
Driselase is employed as an extraction aid, enhancing the efficiency of extracting valuable components from plant materials by breaking down the cell walls and releasing cell wall carbohydrates.
Used in Cellulosic Ethanol Research:
Driselase is used as an energy-efficient and waste prevention tool in cellulosic ethanol research, where it helps in the conversion of plant biomass into fermentable sugars for ethanol production.
Used in Digestion Studies:
Driselase from Basidiomycetes is used as a digestion agent in studies assessing the breakdown of arabinoxylans with different feruloylated side-chains by fungal glycanases.
Used in Enzyme Purification and Characterization:
Driselase is utilized in research for the purification, characterization, and investigation of the mode of action of specific enzymes, such as rhamnogalacturonan hydrolase, contributing to a deeper understanding of enzymatic processes in plant cell wall degradation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Driselase is a cell wall degrading enzyme that contains cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase etc. Therefore, it is very effective in removing plant cell walls to make protoplasts.
