There is currently great interest in understanding the limits on NMR signal enhancements
provided by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), and in particular if the theoretical maximum …

Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer, is a central source for renewable energy and
functionalized materials. In vitro synthesis of cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) has become …

We review the latest information related to the control of fruit softening in tomato and where
relevant compare the events with texture changes in other fleshy fruits. Development of an …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been described as a common mechanism of transferring
genetic material between prokaryotes, whereas genetic transfers from eukaryotes to …

Acidification of plant primary cell walls causes cell wall expansion and plant growth. To
understand how acidic pH affects the molecular structure and dynamics of wall …

DNP-enhanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy under magic angle spinning (MAS) is rapidly
developing into a powerful analytical tool to investigate the structure of a wide range of solid …

Plant cells are surrounded by a carbohydrate-rich extracellular matrix known as the cell wall.
Primary cell walls are laid down around dividing and elongating cells and consist largely of …

Competitive adsorption of dilute quantities of certain organic molecules and water at silicate
surfaces strongly influence the rates of silicate dissolution, hydration, and crystallization …

The xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolases (XTHs) are enzymes involved in cell wall
assembly and growth regulation, cleaving and re‐joining hemicellulose chains in the …

An experimental strategy has been developed to increase the efficiency of dynamic nuclear
polarization (DNP) in solid-state NMR studies. The method makes assignments simpler …
