The complex nature and interconnectivity of plant cell wall polymers preclude straightforward enzymatic digestion. There are dozens of enzyme families involved in plant cell wall hydrolysis, including cellulases, hemicellu-lases, pectinases, and lignin-modifying enzymes. The Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) has classified cellulases and hemicellulases, like all enzymes, into different classes based on activity. Table 33.2 and Table 33.3, compiled from the IUBMB enzyme nomenclature database (http //www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb/ enzyme/), list the IUBMB enzyme classifications for cellulases and hemicellulases.153...

The lignin model compounds and their derivatives used in this study were custom synthesized at Queen s University by Dr. R. Bowers (Colour Your Enzyme). CIDEP and conventional ESR experiments were conducted using either a Varian E-104 spectrometer or a customized Bruker X-band spectrometer, modified similarly as previously described (7). The light source used for in situ irradiation was either a super high pressure 200 W mercury lamp, a Lambda-Physik EMG101-MSC XeCl excimer laser at 308 nm., or a Quanta-Ray GCR-11 Nd YAG solid state laser equipped for all four harmonic generations.
