Plant Cell Wall Proteins: A Large Body of Data, but What about Runaways? [PDF]
Plant cell wall proteomics has been a very dynamic field of research for about fifteen years. A full range of strategies has been proposed to increase the number of identified proteins and to characterize their post-translational modifications.

Heterologous Expression of Plant Cell Wall Degrading Enzymes for Effective Production of Cellulosic Biofuels [PDF]
A major technical challenge in the cost-effective production of cellulosic biofuel is the need to lower the cost of plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCDE), which is required for the production of sugars from biomass.

(1) The secondary metabolite profile of coffee beans was determined. (2) Processing affects not only the metabolite profile but also the volatile compound content. (3) Caffeine was the most abundant metabolite in all samples. (4) The fermentation‐roasting treatment improved the metabolite profile, whereas roasting, fermentation and soaking followed by ...

Opportunities When Chemistry Meets Biology in Catalysis and Synthesis
Biosynthesis and chemical synthesis possess complementary strengths and limitations. Integrating these two systems across multiple levels offers opportunities for molecular synthesis to become highly efficient, precise, versatile, and scalable in the future, while also ensuring environmental compatibility and resource renewability.

Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics
Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their

Identification of chemically sulfated/desulfated glycosaminoglycans in contaminated heparins and development of a simple assay for the detection of most contaminants in heparin [PDF]
Contaminated heparin was linked to at least 149 deaths and hundreds of adverse reactions. Published report indicates that heparin contaminants were a natural impurity, dermatan sulfate, and a contaminant, oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS). OSCS was
