Direct Measurement of Plant Cellulose Microfibril and Bundles in Native Cell Walls

Direct Measurement of Plant Cellulose Microfibril and Bundles in Native Cell Walls

Plants use rigid cellulose together with non-cellulosic matrix polymers to build cell walls. Cellulose microfibrils comprise linear β(1,4)-glucan chains packed through inter- and intra-chain hydrogen-bonding networks and van der Waals forces. Due to its small size, the number of glucan chains and th...
