Journal ArticleDOI
Two chains of rhamnogalacturonan II are cross-linked by borate-diol ester bonds in higher plant cell walls
TL;DR: Removal of boron from the complex reduced the molecular weight by one-half without causing a significant increase in the number of reducing end groups, indicating that borons, as boric acid, links two rhamnogalacturonan II chains together to form the bor on-polysaccharide complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolutionary origin of animal cellulose synthase
TL;DR: It is proposed here that urochordates may use a laterally acquired “homologous” gene for an analogous process of cellulose synthesis, which is the core catalytic subunit of multi-enzyme complexes where cellulose biosynthesis occurs.
Journal Article
Enhancement of enzymatic susceptibility of lignocellulosic wastes by microwave irradiation
TL;DR: In this paper, microwave energy was used for enzymatic saccharification of cellulose in lignocellulosic wastes, including sugar cane bagasse, rice straw, and rice hulls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Characterization of a Boron-Polysaccharide Complex from Radish Roots
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of hesperidin from peels of thinned Citrus unshiu fruits by microwave-assisted extraction.
TL;DR: In this article, microwave-irradiation and crystallization were performed in the same pot of solvent of 70% (v/v) aqueous ethanol for isolation of hesperidin from thinned immature fruit peels of Citrus unshiu as refining of citrus waste biomass.
