Abstract
The C-terminal 191-residue module of Cel5A from the alkalophilic Bacillus sp. 1139 comprises a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) belonging to a previously unidentified family that we have classified as CBM family 28. This example, called CBM28, bound specifically to cello-oligosaccharides and mixed beta-(1,3)(1,4)-glucans (barley beta-glucan) with association constants of approximately (1-4)x10(4) M(-1). Its binding to barley beta-glucan was remarkably insensitive to pH between 7.0 and 10.9, in keeping with its alkalophilic source. CBM28 bound to cellulose having a significant non-crystalline content with an association constant similar to that for its binding to soluble glucans. CBM17 (CBM family 17) and CBM28 modules naturally occur as tandems. The CBM17/CBM28 tandem from Cel5A bound with apparent co-operativity to barley beta-glucan. The association of CBM28 with cello-oligosaccharides was driven enthalpically and marked by the different thermodynamic contribution of three putative binding subsites that accommodate a cellohexaose molecule.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
