| Research Abstract |
Plant cell wall polysaccharides are useful in our daily life as a source of pulp and dietary fiber. The plant cell wall polysaccharides are also considered as important source of biofuel such as bioethanol. However, the mechanism of plant cell wall biosyntehsis has been unknown. In this project, we studied UDP-arabinopyranose mutase which is the enzyme involved in the cell wall biosynthesis in order to clear the mechanism of plant cell wall biosynthesis.
