WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue researchers have discovered the structure of the enzyme that makes cellulose, a finding that could lead to easier ways of breaking down plant materials to make biofuels ...

In fact, Chundawat's research team found that using novel biomass pretreatments to convert cellulose to a unique crystalline structure called cellulose III reduced native enzyme binding while ...

Ranby and Ribi 1 have recently described how native cellulose particles of micellar ... showing these results are given in the accompanying diagram. The 101 planes are thus preferentially oriented ...

When they soaked the fibres in strong hydrochloric acid, the cellulose structure came visibly apart under powerful microscopes. The particles, it turned out, had not been too small to see but were ...

But cellulose, the most abundant renewable polymer on the planet, is extremely recalcitrant to biological depolymerization. Although composed entirely of glucose units, its crystalline microfibrillar ...

New solvents to break down plant cellulose for bioethanol Date: August 10, 2021 Source: Kanazawa University Summary: Researchers experimented with different combinations of zwitterionic molecules ...

Because cellulose is what gives all plants their structure, most plants can be used to make paper. Since the Chinese produced the first true paper around the year 100 A.D., people have made paper ...

The cellulose structure of ordinary plant leaves in Leaftronics can withstand high temperatures and serve as the basis for biodegradable microchips after certain treatments. The research team led by ...

A key family of molecules of interest to the pharmaceutical industry is those derived from cellulose such as hydroxyethyl cellulose and others. These macromolecules are typically used as viscosity ...
