Feedstock including an amphiphilic lignocellulosic biomass can be processed using enzymes prior to pulping. The enzymes break down the biomass by disrupting the surface or cell walls or by reducing wax or other components. Such enzymes include cellulases, hemicellulases, laccases, peroxidases, and pectinases. Suitable enzymes can be obtained from secretions of microbes in soil organic matter from soil in which the feedstock was grown. If the pulping process includes steam explosion, such enzy matic processing of a biomass prior to steam explosion will increase absorption of water by the processed feedstock. In steam explosion, due to the increased ability of the processed feedstock to absorb water, steam explosion is more effective in breaking apart the processed feedstock. For other pulping processes, such enzymatic treatments break down the biomass, enabling extraction of the desired components from the processed feedstock through subsequent processing using less energy and fewer chemicals.

The invention relates to a method for processing enzymes comprising preparing an enzyme composition, exposing the enzyme composition to multiple transitions from a high pressure to a low pressure to provide a processed enzyme composition. The invention extends to a method for processing enzymes using an apparatus, a processed enzyme composition and methods of using the processed enzyme composition.

The application discloses a method for improving expression of exogenous glycoprotein by yeast, comprising the following steps: without changing endogenous genes of a yeast host cell and without introducing exogenous sugar chain processing enzymes, an exogenous N-acetylglucosamine transferase I (GnT1) gene from different species is integrated into a genome of a Pichia pastoris host bacterium for expressing glycoprotein, and a Pichia pastoris engineering bacterium for expressing the exogenous GnT1 is constructed, so that the expression amount of the exogenous glycoprotein in the Pichia pastoris engineering bacterium is significantly improved, the proportion of high mannose type N-glycan is reduced, and the proportion of complex type N-glycan is increased. The method is suitable for biosynthesis of polysaccharide glycosylation protein, high isoelectric point protein and complex folding protein, and has good popularization and application prospect in the fields of biological pharmacy, functional protein, nutritional and healthy raw material and industrial biological manufacturing.

The present disclosure relates generally to engineered nucleic acid processing enzymes, based on DNA polymerases (e.g., engineered family B polymerases), and derivatives thereof having reverse transcriptase activity and substantially lacking strand displacement activity; kits comprising the engineered family B polymerases; and methods of generating and using the engineered family B polymerases.
