Solid-state 13C NMR, X-ray diffraction and structural study of methyl 4-O-methyl β-D-glucopyranosides with all eight possible methyl-substitution patterns Open
Cellulose model compounds that mimic the building blocks of modified cellulose and cellulose derivatives are widely used in cellulose research to infer the properties of the polymer from the monomer. Based on the well-established model com…

How crystalline is my cellulose specimen? Probing the limits of X-ray diffraction Open
Cellulose serves as a skeleton for many of the useful products upon which we rely on each day. When we want to learn about a skeleton, it makes sense to think about X-ray methods. The same can be said when it comes to learning about the cr…

Structure/Function Analysis of Truncated Amino-Terminal ACE2 Peptide Analogs That Bind to SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein Open
The global burden of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is thought to result from a high viral transmission rate. Here, we consider mechanisms that influence host cell–virus binding between the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (SPG) and the human angiot…

Detection of Human Neutrophil Elastase by Fluorescent Peptide Sensors Conjugated to TEMPO-Oxidized Nanofibrillated Cellulose Open
Peptide–cellulose conjugates designed for use as optical protease sensors have gained interest for point-of-care (POC) detection. Elevated serine protease levels are often found in patients with chronic illnesses, necessitating optimal bio…

Synthesis and characterization of TEMPO-oxidized peptide-cellulose conjugate biosensors for detecting human neutrophil elastase Open
Here we describe the synthesis and characterization of a peptide-cellulose conjugate biosensor based on TEMPO-oxidized nanofibrillated cellulose (tNFC) for detecting elevated levels of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) in chronic wounds. The…

Structure/Function Analysis of Cotton-Based Peptide-Cellulose Conjugates: Spatiotemporal/Kinetic Assessment of Protease Aerogels Compared to Nanocrystalline and Paper Cellulose Open
Nanocellulose has high specific surface area, hydration properties, and ease of derivatization to prepare protease sensors. A Human Neutrophil Elastase sensor designed with a nanocellulose aerogel transducer surface derived from cotton is …
