Wang Group Receives DOE Grant to Develop Plant NMR Toolbox
Tuo Wang group was awarded a regular grant from the BES Physical Bioscience Program of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
The project titled “Atomic Resolution of lignin-carbohydrate interactions in native plant tissues from solid-state NMR." The 3-year, $500K grant will allow the Wang group to develop an NMR-focused spectroscopic toolbox to characterize intact plant tissues and to visualize the aromatic-carbohydrate interface that has locked energy in the plant biomass.
