Abstract The action mode of xylanase II from Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 on xylan and related olifosaccharides(xylotrose, xylotetraose, and arabinoxylotriose) indicated that xylans II is an endo-enzyme and also hat trans-zylosidase activity. The ¹H-NMR studies of the rection products formed by xylanase II revealed that all the hydrolysis products of xylooligosaccharides by the enzyme have only β-1,40xylosidic linkage(s). Chemical modification of the enzyme with iodoacetamide showed that two cystein residues per molecule of the enzyme was essential for the activity. Modification of the enzyme with N-bromosuccinimide demonstrated that four of the eight tryptophan residues were involved in its active site.
