Heterogeneity in the polysaccharide constituents of plant cell walls has been recognized since the earliest chemical analyses of isolated wall preparations. Clear and dramatic differences in average ...

Function follows form. To a certain extent, the opposite of this guideline mainly followed by Bauhaus designers applies in biology: the form of a biomolecule determines its function. This has long ...
