User:Plinio Vieira

Plinio Salmazo Vieira obtained his B.Sc. Lic. in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo (2010) and his Ph.D. (2016) at the University of Campinas under the supervision of Mario Murakami and Priscila Oliveira de Giuseppe. During his post-doc at Brazilian National Center for Research in Energy and Materials under the supervision of Dr. Murakami, he studied Glycoside Hydrolases from Xanthomonas that act on Xyloglucan depolymerization. He also worked on a post-doc project under the supervision of Miguel Alcalde at Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry, focusing on the engineering and evolution of a GH35 β-galactosidase. He currently works as Researcher Specialist at Brazilian Biorenewables Laboratory, focusing on the discovery and the structure-function-mechanism relationship from CAZymes. He has contributed for the tridimensional structure determination and biochemical characterization of:

• CE20 Family first XacXaeA 7KMM [1]
• GH1 EmBgl [2]
• GH2 XacMan2A 6BYC 6BYE ID 6BYI6BYG [3]
• GH3 XacXyl3A, XacXyl3B, XacBgl3A, XacBgl3B, XacBgl3C [1]
• GH8 XacCel8A [4]
• GH31 XacXyl31 7KMP 7KNC [1]
• GH35 XacGalD 7KMN 7KMO [1]
• GH74 XccXeg74 7KN8 [1]
• GH95 XacAfc95 7KMQ [1]
• GH128 AmGH128_I 6UAU 6UAT 6UBFZ 6UAS 6UFL [5]
