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

With the development of NMR methodology and technology during the past decades, solid-
state NMR (ssNMR) has become a particularly important tool for investigating structure and …

Vast efforts have been devoted to the development of antifungal drugs targeting the cell wall,
but the supramolecular architecture of this carbohydrate-rich composite remains …

Pectic polysaccharides modulate gut fermentation ability, which is determined by structural
characteristics. In this work, apple pectins were extracted by HCl (HAEP), NaOH (AEP) …

Crop straws provide enormous biomass residues applicable for biofuel production and trace
metal phytoremediation. However, as lignocellulose recalcitrance determines a costly …

Years ago, a classic textbook would define plant cell walls based on passive features. For
instance, a sort of plant exoskeleton of invariable polysaccharide composition, and probably …

Hemicellulose and pectin are noteworthy components of historical European rag papers,
and have not been studied in detail so far. Rag papers were made from used textiles, and …

High-resolution investigation of cell wall materials has emerged as an important application
of biomolecular solid-state NMR (ssNMR). Multidimensional correlation experiments have …

Structural analysis of macromolecular complexes within their natural cellular environment
presents a significant challenge. Recent applications of solid-state NMR (ssNMR) …

The plant secondary cell wall is a thickened matrix of polysaccharides and lignin deposited
at the cessation of growth in some cells. It forms the majority of carbon in lignocellulosic …
