Stochastic model of lignocellulosic material saccharification
Fig 5
Sketch of the structural blocking by lignin for two different values of the covering fraction μ.
(a) For μ = 100%, every bond within each lignin polymer represents a barrier. The polymers are linear. (b) For μ = 20%, only parts of each polymer represents a barrier (showed in black) while remaining monolignols are showed as shades. The polymers are highly branched.
