Abstract

Atomic-detailed computational models of lignocellulose can complement experiments in understanding its structure and dynamics. Here, we present results of Molecular Dynamics simulation of the plant cell wall polymer lignin. Polymer theory is employed to interpret these results. Finally the steps towards a realistic model of lignocellulose are discussed.1. L. Petridis and J.C.
