Active-site comparison between GH1 and GH3 β-glucosidases. Lateral views of (a) the GH1 HiBG active site occupied by glycerol and glucose (green C atoms) and (b) the GH3 A. aculeatus BG1 (AaBGL1) active site occupied by two glucose molecules (cyan C atoms; PDB entry 4iig ; Suzuki et al., 2013BB1). (c) shows a schematic view of the GH1 and GH3 active sites and the mechanism proposed for glucose tolerance in β-­glucosidases. Arrows illustrate the depth of the nucleophiles Glu377 (17 Å) and Asp280 (11.3 Å) calculated by DEPTH (Tan et al., 2013BB1). GLC represent glucose molecules.
