The industrial implementation of biofuel production from lignocellulosicbiomass faces a number of economic obstacles. One of these is the cost ofenzymes, typically used for cellulose hydrolysis. Nature provides some hintstowards the efficiency of this process, exampled in natural enzyme complexes -cellulosomes, produced by some microorganisms. Therefore, many research groupstarget synthetic routes to mimic such cellulosomes with synthetic structureswhen many questions remain to be addressed: the optimal chemical structure andsize of such synthetic scaffolds, their adsorption on the cellulosic biomassparticles, combinations, and best practices arrangement of enzymes in thecomplex. In this work, polyethylene glycol (PEG) copolymers that form micellesand accommodate enzymes in the micellar structures are systematically studiedusing both experimental and computer simulation techniques. Preliminary resultsindicate that the micelles are efficient polymer - enzymes structures forcellulose hydrolysis. While the direct quantitative comparison between the realand model systems is not always straightforward, both approaches agree on therole of the molecular architecture of the copolymers on micelle formation andtheir structural characteristics.
