The Cellulose and Cellulosome Page

 

Schematical presentation of the cellulosome of Clostridium thermocellum: CipA protein is drawn in green, catalytical components in orange, cell-wall binding components in blue, the bacterial cell in brown and the cellulose microfibril in black. The S-layer is punctuated. The cohesin modules are numbered 1 to 9. The binding of the enzymes to specific positions (cohesins) is hypothetical, as is the linear orientation of the scaffoldin. The scaffoldins (CipA) bound to OlpB are only sketched partially. All cellulosome components are not drawn to scale.

A list of all presently known cellulosome components you find here. Or go back to the cellulosome introduction.
