What Does CBD Stand For?
CBD stands for Cellulose Binding Domain
CBD, or Cellulose Binding Domain, refers to a protein domain that facilitates the binding of enzymes to cellulose, a major component of plant cell walls. This domain plays a critical role in the degradation of cellulose by allowing enzymes, such as cellulases, to effectively attach to and break down cellulose into simpler sugars. The presence of CBD enhances the efficiency of these enzymatic processes, making it essential in various applications, including biofuel production and the bioconversion of biomass.
