We are grateful for a 1.8M S10 grant from NIH through for upgrading a 600 MHz NMR with a new magnet and the most advanced solid-state cyroprobe. This enhancement will significantly boost our capability to analyze cellular samples of pathogens. @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

Now on the front cover of JACS: our collaborative study with Nishiyama and Xu groups, integrating solid-state NMR with XRD methods to generate unified structural models of plant cell walls. #PlantBiology #nmrchat @MSUChem @MSUNatSci
On the cover of this week's issue: "Native Architecture of Wheat Straw Cell Walls: A Unified Model from X-ray Scattering and Solid-State NMR" Read it here 🔗 go.acs.org/ef1

In collaboration with Nishiyama and Xu groups, we combined the use of solid-state NMR and X-ray to determine the structural organizations of cellulose, xylan, and lignin in wheat straw and provide a unified model. #nmrchat @MSUChem @MSUNatSci

First time at #Fungal26. Great to finally meet many long-time collaborators in person. Isha gave a talk on Aspergillus cell wall and stress adaptation, and Tuo gave two talks on zygosporic fungi and antifungal-induced remodeling.
