Abstract
Methods developed for the routine imaging of polysaccharides by atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been used to image plant polysaccharides from higher plants (pectin) and algae (carrageenan). These methods have been extended to image K-carrageenan association in hydrated films. Finally, AFM has been used to image polysaccharide architecture in moist plant cell walls. Simple experimental and image processing methods have been used to enhance molecular structure in 'rough' cell wall surfaces.Entities:
