BaCBM2-Cys

CBM2, or Carbohydrate-Binding Module 2, is a protein sourced from Bacillus anthracis. It belongs to a broader family of carbohydrate-binding modules that are crucial for the degradation of polysaccharides. These modules are important to break down complex carbohydrates, enabling microorganisms to convert them into usable energy sources.

Recent study [ ] has shown that CBM2 has the ability to bind to certain types of plastics, especially those derived from polysaccharides or exhibiting similar structural features. This binding ability is largely due to the protein's carbohydrate-binding properties, which facilitate interactions with specific functional groups found on plastic surfaces.

This CBM2 protein is modified with an additional amino acid (cysteine). This enhancement allows it to be effectively utilized in our biosensor technology.
