A Quantitative Molecular Atlas for Interactions Between Lignin and Cellulose

Lignin and cellulose are two of the most abundant polymers on Earth and are found in close proximity within plant cell walls. Despite their ubiquity, relatively little is known quantitatively about their interactions within plants and by extension how their interaction may affect industrial biomass utilization. Given the inherent heterogeneity of the lignin polymer and the structural complexity of cellulose, quantitative relationships between...
