The effect of non-catalytic protein addition on the adsorption/desorption behavior of individual cellulase components on/from substrates during the hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose and steam exploded sugarcane bagasse (SEB) were investigated. The addition of non-catalytic protein enhanced the enzymatic hydrolysis of SEB, but did not enhance the hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose. During the hydrolysis of SEB, adsorption of beta-glucosidase (BGL) was prevented in the presence of non-catalytic protein. Cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I) and endoglucanase I (EG I) desorbed from the substrate after temporary adsorption in the presence of non-catalytic protein during SEB hydrolysis. This suggested that reduction of the non-specific adsorption of cellulase components, CBH I, EG I, and BGL, on lignin in SEB led to the improving of enzymatic hydrolysis.
