Properties | Endohydrolysis of (1→4)-β-D-xylosidic linkages in xylans. The xylanase catalyses the endo-hydrolysis of 1,4-b-D-xylosidic linkages in xylan (including arabinoxylan, which is xylan branched with arabinose), resulting in the generation of (1?4)-b-D-xylan oligosaccharides of different chain lengths. |
