Journal ArticleDOI
Lignins: Natural polymers from oxidative coupling of 4-hydroxyphenyl- propanoids
John Ralph,Knut Lundquist,Gösta Brunow,Fachuang Lu,Hoon Kim,Paul F. Schatz,Jane M. Marita,Ronald D. Hatfield,Sally A. Ralph,Jorgen Holst Christensen,Wout Boerjan +10 more
TL;DR: A recent challenge to the currently accepted theory of chemically controlled lignification, attempting to bring lignin into line with more organized biopolymers such as proteins, is logically inconsistent with the most basic details of the structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formaldehyde stabilization facilitates lignin monomer production during biomass depolymerization
Li Shuai,Masoud Talebi Amiri,Ydna M. Questell-Santiago,Florent Héroguel,Yanding Li,Yanding Li,Hoon Kim,Hoon Kim,Richard Meilan,Clint Chapple,John Ralph,John Ralph,Jeremy S. Luterbacher +12 more
TL;DR: This paper reports that adding formaldehyde during biomass pretreatment produces a soluble lignin fraction that can be converted to guaiacyl and syringyl monomers at near theoretical yields during subsequent hydrogenolysis, three to seven times those obtained without formaldehyde.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solution-state 2D NMR of ball-milled plant cell wall gels in DMSO-d6/pyridine-d5
Hoon Kim,John Ralph +1 more
TL;DR: This gel-state NMR fingerprinting of the components of finely divided plant cell walls swelled in DMSO may provide the basis for an attractive approach to providing a secondary screen for selecting biomass lines and for optimizing biomass processing and conversion efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole plant cell wall characterization using solution-state 2D NMR
TL;DR: This protocol describes procedures for the preparation and extraction of a biological plant tissue, and presents data that demonstrate the utility of this new NMR whole cell wall characterization procedure with a variety of degradative methods traditionally used for cell wall compositional analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemoselective Metal-Free Aerobic Alcohol Oxidation in Lignin
TL;DR: An efficient organocatalytic method for chemoselective aerobic oxidation of secondary benzylic alcohols within lignin model compounds has been identified and extension to selective oxidation in natural lignins has also been demonstrated.
