  2. Lignin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignin

    Idealized structure of lignin from a softwood. Lignin is a class of complex organic polymers that form key structural materials in the support tissues of most plants. [1] Lignins are particularly important in the formation of cell walls, especially in wood and bark, because they lend rigidity and do not rot easily.

  6. Monolignol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolignol

    Lignin is a polymer with an inert nature that forms the structures of woody plants. The ratio of the three monolignols as well as their linkages varies depending on the plant species. For example, Norway spruce lignin is almost entirely derived from coniferyl alcohol, whereas paracoumaryl alcohol is the main monomer of lignin in grasses. [4]

    Beginning in 1856, there was a string of research that refuted that idea. The chemical makeup of the brain was nearly identical to the makeup of the peripheral nervous system. [1] The first large leap forward in the study of neurochemistry came from Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Thudichum, who is one of the pioneers in the field of "brain chemistry ...
