Cellulose synthase (CesA), is a membrane-associated protein which has proven to be difficult to purify. In recent years, the crystal structure of the bacterial counterpart of CesA was elucidated. However, at present, the crystal structure of plant CesA is still an enigma, and we only have predicted...
