Potent Time-Dependent Ice Recrystallization Inhibition Activity of Cellulose Nanocrystals in Sucrose Solutions

Min Li et al.

Summary: This study found that cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) exhibit ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) activity over longer exposure times in a model ice cream system. The time-dependent surface coverage of CNCs on ice crystals appears to be a key mechanism for inhibiting ice crystal growth. These findings emphasize the importance of selecting a suitable exposure time to evaluate IRI activity of new materials involving CNCs.

On the organization of hemicelluloses in the wood cell wall

Lennart Salmen

Summary: The structural arrangement of polymers in the cell wall of wood, particularly the roles of glucomannan and xylan in the secondary cell wall, is still not fully understood. Recent studies have shown a close association of xylan with cellulose microfibrils in softwoods. Various techniques have been used to examine these findings, and the overall results strongly support the association of both glucomannan and xylan with cellulose microfibrils.

Carbohydrate-aromatic interface and molecular architecture of lignocellulose

Alex Kirui et al.

Summary: In this study, the assembly of lignocellulosic components in plant stems and the interactions between polysaccharides and the aromatic polymer lignin are investigated using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The research shows that the extent of glycan-aromatic association varies in different types of plant stems, and lignin primarily interacts with xylan through non-covalent interactions and partially binds to the junction of xylan and cellulose surface. The unique feature of homogeneous mixing of all molecules in softwoods enables better water retention. These findings provide insights into the principles of polymer interactions underlying the heterogeneous architecture of lignocellulose, which can guide the rational design of more digestible plants and more efficient biomass-conversion pathways.

Do antifreeze proteins generally possess the potential to promote ice growth?

Shaoli Cui et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of different antifreeze proteins (AFPs) on the growth of ice crystals on the basal and prismatic surfaces. The results show that only hyperactive AFPs can promote the growth of the basal plane, while moderately active AFPs cannot. Furthermore, no significant promotion is observed on the prismatic plane. This promotion may be attributed to the thicker ice/water interface on the basal plane and the synergy between hypAFPs and ice crystals.

Solid-state NMR of unlabeled plant cell walls: high-resolution structural analysis without isotopic enrichment

Wancheng Zhao et al.

Summary: The study presented a method using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) to enhance sensitivity and eliminate the need for isotopic labeling, successfully collecting 2D C-13-C-13 correlation spectra. The atomic resolution revealed the polymorphic structure of cellulose and xylan, while NMR relaxation and dipolar order parameters indicated changes in molecular motions in a double mutant. By skipping isotopic labeling, the DNP strategy is universally applicable to all lignocellulose materials, providing a time-efficient method for understanding polysaccharide structure and cell wall assembly in various plant tissues and species.

Summary: The structural changes of cellulose microfibrils and microfibril bundles in unmodified spruce cell wall due to drying in air were investigated using time-resolved small-angle neutron scattering. The experiments and simulations revealed that individual cellulose microfibrils remain relatively unaffected by drying, while there is a significant decrease in fibril-to-fibril distances in microfibril bundles. Two distinct drying regions, constant-rate drying and falling-rate drying, were observed during the experiments, supported by molecular dynamics simulations.

Affinity of small-molecule solutes to hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and chemically patterned interfaces in aqueous solution

Jacob Monroe et al.

Summary: The performance of membranes in water purification, especially in terms of fouling resistance, is influenced by the interactions between solvated species and membrane surfaces. Efforts to create fouling-resistant membranes often focus on hydrophilization of surfaces. However, molecular simulations show that solutes are attracted to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, contradicting macroscopic measures which suggest solute affinity is higher on hydrophobic surfaces. This suggests that traditional macroscopic hydrophobicity metrics may not accurately predict solute-surface affinity, and that molecular-scale surface chemical patterning plays a significant role in influencing affinity.

Direct Evidence for Aligned Binding of Cellulase Enzymes to Cellulose Surfaces

Kayla Sprenger et al.

Summary: Engineers have been designing new cellulase enzymes for the conversion of biomass into green fuels and chemicals, with a critical factor being the attachment via the enzyme's carbohydrate binding module (CBM). Experimental data and molecular dynamics simulations show that binding is driven by hydrogen bonding and that tyrosine side chains within the CBM align the cellulase with the registry of the cellulose surface. This alignment is favorable for the translocation and effective cellulose breakdown, likely an important parameter for the design of novel enzymes.

Spontaneous rearrangement of acetylated xylan on hydrophilic cellulose surfaces

Madhulika Gupta et al.

Summary: The interaction between xylan and cellulose microfibrils is crucial for secondary cell wall strength, with acetate or glucuronic acid substitutions on xylan shown to influence these interactions. Depending on the position and nature of the substitution, xylans can adopt different helical screw conformations when interacting with the hydrophilic face of cellulose fibers. These findings point to the importance of evenly spaced chemical functionalization in tuning xylan-cellulose interactions and stabilizing specific helical conformations on the cellulose surface.

Summary: Moisture absorption in wood cell wall structure causes swelling of wood due to sorptive action of carbohydrate wood polymers, leading to transverse contraction and slight elongation of cellulose crystals. These deformations are reversible during moisture desorption, attributed to swelling forces from longitudinal and lateral expansions of non-crystalline cellulose molecules and hemicellulose.

Summary: This study investigated the thermodynamics of the adsorption of xyloglucan (XG) to cellulose surfaces at different temperatures using molecular dynamics simulations. The results showed that adsorption near room temperature is an endothermic process driven by the entropy of released interfacial water molecules. In the case of native cellulose, adsorption became exothermic at higher temperatures, while the interactions between water and charged groups of oxidized cellulose hindered this transition.
