High performance crystalline nanocellulose using an ancestral endoglucanase

Enzymes are effective at upgrading natural materials to high-performance biomaterials. Here, an ancestral endoglucanase is used to obtain highly crystalline cellulose nanocrystals, which can act as a matrix for cell growth and be combined with graphene for conducting inks.
