Reaction
The enzyme produces mannose and glucose mainly from mannooligosaccharides and cellobiose by hydrolyzing them from the reducing end. It can not hydrolyze alpha-form substrates and bulk polymers like mannan and starch =

3.3 A resolution structural model. CelB shows a homo-tetramer configuration, with subunits having a typical (betaalpha)8-barrel fold
hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method, a monomeric form of the enzyme is constructed by removing the C-terminal region (the mutant lacks the C-terminal 23 residues and includes six substitutive mutations R170A, R220A, Y227F, F447S, R448V and E449K) of the enzyme and its crystal structure is solved at a resolution of 2.8 A in space group
to 2.35 A resolution. There is one tetramer in the asymmetric unit and the dimeric molecule exhibits a structure that is stable towards sodium dodecyl sulfate even after boiling at 368 K. The elongation at the C-terminal end forms a hydrophobic patch at the dimer interface that might contribute to hyperthermostability
