Combined use of cutinase and high-resolution mass-spectrometry to query the molecular architecture of cutin

Abstract Background Cutin is a complex, highly cross-linked polyester consisting of hydroxylated and epoxidated acyl lipid monomers. Because of the complexity of the polymer it has been difficult to define the chemical architecture of the polymer, which has further limited the ability to identify th...
