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 ...

This was the first time that the unique, helical structure of cellulose had been replicated in a mineral. This helical organization synthetically mimics the structure of the exoskeletons of some ...

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 ...

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 ...

Therefore, this dilemma is quite common for previously reported cellulose-based macrofibers ... and have hierarchical helical structures across multiple length scales with stiff and strong ...
