Abstract

Lignocellulosic biomass from sugar-cane is a high-valued material for the obtantion of biofuels. The best route for converting such biomass into fermentable sugars is the enzymatic catalysis, which is the most expensive step of the whole process. In order to make such processes more efficient and viable is necessary to enhance our understanding of the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. This project aims at elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose using modern computational methodologies, such as molecular dynamics simulations. (AU)
