Glycobiology: Cellulose squeezes through.

The glucose-based polymer cellulose is of great biological and economical importance; however, little is known about how cellulose is synthesized. Now, structural estimates of one of the cellulose-synthesizing subunits in the bacterium Acetobacter xylinum help to explain the extrusion of the newly synthesized glucan chains.
