Cellulose Biosynthesis and Biodegradation
October 3, 2011 @ 01:10 pm to 02:10 pm
108 Wartik Laboratory
Featuring:
Shi-You Ding
National Renewable Energy Laboratory
This seminar is being sponsored by the Center for Lignocellulose Structure and Formation Dr. Ding is a plant biologist and biochemist specializing in the ultrastructure of plant cell walls and cell-wall-degrading enzymes. He has pioneered nanometer-scale studies of plant cell wall structures and the changes occurring in them during biomass conversion processes, elucidating in detail the molecular interactions between plant cell wall constituents, microbes, and enzymes by means of combined chemical imaging, single-molecule spectroscopy, and biochemistry approaches.
