Acetyl groups in cell-wall preparations from higher plants

J S Bacon et al. Biochem J. 1975 Aug.

Abstract

O-Acetyl groups were detected by i.r. spectroscopy in cell-wall preparations from grasses and other higher plants and their presence was confirmed chemically. The amounts present are likely to influence both the physical state of the cell-wall polysaccharides and also their digestion by enzymes.
