Cellulose synthase complex organization and cellulose microfibril structure [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2017
Cellulose consists of linear chains of β-1,4-linked glucose units, which are synthesized by the cellulose synthase complex (CSC). In plants, these chains associate in an ordered manner to form the cellulose microfibrils. Both the CSC and the local environment in which the individual chains coalesce to form the cellulose microfibril ...

Role of Lignin in Moisture Interactions of Cellulose Microfibril Structures in Wood [PDF]

Small Structures
Wood is a complex, multi‐component material with a variety of applications. The properties of wood are especially sensitive to its moisture content and comprehending wood–water interactions is thus paramount. Understanding of the moisture interactions of

Unraveling cellulose microfibrils: a twisted tale. [PDF]

Biopolymers, 2013
ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics (MD) simulations of cellulose microfibrils are pertinent to the paper, textile, and biofuels industries for their unique capacity to characterize dynamic behavior and atomic‐level interactions with solvent molecules and cellulase enzymes.

Nanostructural deformation of high-stiffness spruce wood under tension

Scientific Reports, 2021
Conifer wood is an exceptionally stiff and strong material when its cellulose microfibrils are well aligned. However, it is not well understood how the polymer components cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin co-operate to resist tensile stress in wood ...
