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 ...

The natural protein, known as CelOCE, was developed at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials and is ready ...

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 ...
