Structural Characterization of Lignin in Wild-type versus COMT Down-regulated Switchgrass
This study examined the chemical structural characteristics of cellulolytic enzyme lignin isolated from switchgrass focusing on comparisons between wild-type control and caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (COMT) down-regulated transgenic line.Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques including 13C, 31P, and two-dimensional 13C-1H heteronuclear si
