The degree of crystallinity in cellulose significantly affects the physical, mechanical, and
chemical properties of cellulosic materials, their processing, and their final application …

Extracellular matrixes (ECMs), such as the cell walls and biofilms, are important for
supporting cell integrity and function and regulating intercellular communication. These …

Lignin is a complex aromatic biopolymer that strengthens and waterproofs plant secondary
cell walls, enabling mechanical stability in trees and long-distance water transport in xylem …

Solid-state NMR with magic-angle spinning (MAS) is an important method in structural
biology. While NMR can provide invaluable information about local geometry on an atomic …

Cellulose is often described as a mixture of crystalline and amorphous material. A large part
of the general understanding of the chemical, biochemical and physical properties of …

It is now established that crystalline cellulose is held together not just by hydrogen bonding,
but also by dispersion forces and by electrostatic attraction modulated by stereoelectronic …

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy (ssNMR) with magic-angle spinning (MAS) enables the
investigation of biological systems within their native context, such as lipid membranes, viral …

NMR spectroscopy has been applied to cells and tissues analysis since its beginnings, as
early as 1950. We have attempted to gather here in a didactic fashion the broad diversity of …

The aim of this study was to obtain cellulose and cellulose nanoparticles (CNP) from garlic
and agave wastes, as well as elucidating its structure at different scales using microscopy …

The cell walls of plants and microbes are a central source for bio-renewable energy and the
major targets of antibiotics and antifungal agents. It is highly challenging to determine the …
