qua2 and tsd2 Mutants Have Increased Mobility for Both Cellulose and Pectin as Detected by NMR.
(A)
13C direct polarization (DP) spectra measured with short recycle delays of 2 s for probing mobile molecules (red) and 35 s for quantitative detection (black) at 293K. The relative intensities between these two spectra are indicated for resolved cellulose and pectin peaks, with the higher relative intensity representing higher mobility.
(B) Relative intensity ratios between the 2-s DP that selects the mobile molecules and quantitative DP spectra for wild-type (black), qua2 (blue), and tsd2 (red) cell walls.
