Abstract  

Hemicellulose is an abundant and renewable plant biomass yet untapped utilization. The bioconversion of hemicellulose to sugars is essential in the production of xylitol and other chemicals. Acetyl xylan esterase is the key enzyme in hydrolyzing hemicellulose, which can deacetylate on the O-2 and O-3 positions of xylopyranosyl residue. It has broad application prospect in agriculture and industry. The recent research progresses on catalysis mechanism, structure, characterization, gene cloning and synergetic hydrolysis of acetyl xylan esterase were addressed.
