We analyze sequence‐structure–function relationships, particularly interface mutations, in cellulose synthase (CESA) complexes (CSCs), which evolved from homomeric to heteromeric forms in seed plants. Heterologous expression of an evolutionarily divergent CESA minimizes interference with endogenous CSCs, promoting homomeric CSC formation and enhanced ...

We investigated macroscopic (optical transmission) and nanoscopic (EPR spectroscopy) changes during the thermal collapse of ethylene glycol (EG) side chain‐containing LCST polymers. EPR detects transition onset earlier than optical methods. The EG side chain length primarily determines polymer (de)hydration, while end groups also influence collapse ...
