Research interests
Determining the site of XET attack on xyloglucan in vivo. he Effects of the "inhibition" of XET by XGo and what this may tell us about the primary cell wall. The effects of inhibition of cell wall enzymes and predominantly XET by tannins on the integration of new wall material and the restructuring of the xyloglucan-cellulose network.
