Analysis of Enzymatic Degradation of Cellulose Microfibrils by Quantitative Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging

Cellulose is the most plentiful biopolymer on the planet, and as such, is a large potential energy source. Converting cellulose into ethanol first requires the disruption of the crystallinity of cellulose fibers and subsequent hydrolysis into glucose. The glucose can then be fermented, producing eth...
