The deconstruction of cellulose is essential for the conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals. But cellulose, the most ...

The structure of carbohydrates—hexoses to be precise—posed one of the earliest chemical mysteries. Emil Fischer, a grandfather of chemical biologists, relied on phenyl hydrazine to elucidate ...

Researchers from the University of Adelaide have discovered how water molecules are organized during plant hydrolytic ...

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea ...

Using high-resolution X-ray crystallography (2.0 Å), the team resolved the enzyme’s structure, revealing a six-bladed β-propeller catalytic domain linked to a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM ...

Saba Aslani from the University of Texas at Arlington spoke to LCGC International about a collaborative project with ...

For instance, he was the first to discover the order of the three major components of a single nucleotide (phosphate-sugar-base); the first to discover the carbohydrate component of RNA (ribose ...
