Deformation of cellulose allomorphs studied by molecular dynamics
Cellulose-based materials draw their good mechanical properties from the cellulose crystal. Improved understanding of crystal properties could lead to a wider range of applications for cellulose-based materials, Cellulose crystals show high axial Youngs modulus. Cellulose can attain several allomorphic forms which show unique structural arrangements in terms of both intra-molecular and intermol...
متن کاملPhosphoproteomic Analyses Reveal Signaling Pathways That Facilitate Lytic Gammaherpesvirus Replication
Lytic gammaherpesvirus (GHV) replication facilitates the establishment of lifelong latent infection, which places the infected host at risk for numerous cancers. As obligate intracellular parasites, GHVs must control and usurp cellular signaling pathways in order to successfully replicate, disseminate to stable latency reservoirs in the host, and prevent immune-mediated clearance. To facilitate...
متن کاملBioassays Based on Molecular Nanomechanics
Recent experiments have shown that when specific biomolecular interactions are confined to one surface of a microcantilever beam, changes in intermolecular nanomechanical forces provide sufficient differential torque to bend the cantilever beam. This has been used to detect single base pair mismatches during DNA hybridization, as well as prostate specific antigen (PSA) at concentrations and con...
متن کاملExperimental Evolution of Trichoderma citrinoviride for Faster Deconstruction of Cellulose.
Engineering faster cellulose deconstruction is difficult because it is a complex, cooperative, multi-enzyme process. Here we use experimental evolution to select for populations of Trichoderma citrinoviride that deconstruct up to five-fold more cellulose. Ten replicate populations of T. citrinoviride were selected for growth on filter paper by serial culture. After 125 periods of growth and tra...
متن کاملMicroemulsion systems for fiber deconstruction into cellulose nanofibrils.
A new method to produce cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) is proposed to reduce the energy demand during deconstruction of precursor fibers suspended in aqueous media. Microemulsions were formulated with aqueous solutions of urea or ethylenediamine and applied to disrupt interfibril hydrogen bonding. Compared to typical fibrillation of lignin-containing and lignin-free fibers, pretreatment with micro...
