“…Particularly, obtaining biofuels from lignocellulosic resources is a challenge, as the enzyme hydrolysis efficiency of lignocellulose is low which increases the costs of biofuels. Thus, protein engineering methods have been used to improve the performance of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes, and biofuels-synthesizing enzymes (Wen et al, 2009). Protein engineering is also applied to obtain an efficient electrical communication between biocatalyst(s) and the electrode by rational design and directed evolution, within the frame of biocatalyst engineering (Guven et al, 2010).…”
