Common NameCellohexaose
DescriptionCellohexaose is a carbohydrate belonging to the chemical class of oligosaccharides, specifically composed of six glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Its chemical structure can be represented as Glc6, where each glucose unit contributes to the overall polymeric chain. Cellohexaose plays a significant role in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the degradation of cellulose. For instance, molecular dynamics simulations indicate that cellohexaose exhibits binding interactions with specific enzymes, such as BlCel9A, which facilitates substrate binding and product release (PMID:38286536 ). Additionally, enzymes like PnAA16 selectively act on cellohexaose, producing native cellooligosaccharides and oxidized products through regioselective oxidation (PMID:39276894 ). In silico studies have shown that endo-β-1,4-glucanases from different insect species possess high affinity for cellohexaose among other substrates (PMID:37967019 ). Furthermore, the acetyltransferase activity of WssI has been demonstrated on cellulose oligomers, including the conversion of cellotetraose to cellohexaose (PMID:37224964 ). These interactions underscore the importance of cellohexaose in cellulose metabolism and enzymatic activity.
