Abstract
The viability of cellulosic ethanol depends on the
optimal use of biomass component through the biorefinery
concept and this requires the integration of unit
operations that are involved in the production of fuel
and chemicals. In this regard, enzymes are important
tools to improve the efficiency and sustainability of a
biorefinery process. Therefore, a comprehensive approach
and full understanding of the structure and function
relationships that are involved in the enzymatic
hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials is a fundamental
step toward the optimization of these bioconversion
processes.
