Daniel Cosgrove

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

This is a proposal to use advanced solid-state NMR methods to elucidate the architecture and arrangement of cell walls of plants, grass species in particular. It was conceived within and will be…

Structural Investigation of Crystalline Cellulose in Plant Cell Walls Using High-Resolution Non-linear Spectroscopy and Microscopy

Lead Institution

Pennsylvania State University

Principal Investigator

Seong Kim

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Plants use much of the carbon and solar energy captured during photosynthesis to produce cell walls, which are a valuable resource of renewable energy. Plant cell walls are processed for use as…
