Molecular Dynamics Simulations Suggest Folded Chain Ends Compatible with the Cellulose-II Fibril Structure

The structural feasibility of chain folding within an accepted cellulose-II structure is investigated in this study. We incorporate 3-residue and 5-residue folded glucosyl turns into a cellulose-II fibril crystal model to assess if the dominant structure can be retained. Ten candidate turn models were generated by meta...
