Co‐operative binding of triplicate carbohydrate‐binding modules from a thermophilic xylanase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Family 6 carbohydrate-binding modules were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from Clostridium stercorarium strain NCIB11754 genomic DNA as a triplet. Individually, these modules bound to xylooligosaccharides and cellooligosaccharides with affinities varying from approximately 3 x 10(3) M(-1) to approximately 1 x 10(5) M(-1). Tandem and triplet combinations of these modules bound co-operatively to soluble xylan and insoluble cellulose to give approximately 20- to approximately 40-fold increases in affinity relative to the individual modules. This co-operativity was an avidity effect resulting from the modules within the tandems and triplet interacting simultaneously with proximal binding sites on the polysaccharides. This occurred by both intrachain and interchain interactions. The duplication or triplication of modules appears to be linked to the growth temperature of the organism; co-operativity in these multiplets may compensate for the loss of affinity at higher temperatures.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
