Pectin, a natural and nontoxic acidic polysaccharide, is widely found in the primary cell wall and inner layer of terrestrial higher plants. The main domains of pectin are homogalacturonan and rhamnogalacturonan I, which contribute to the complexity of structure among natural polysaccharides. Pectin, a natural and nontoxic acidic polysaccharide, is widely found in the primary cell…

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) officially released the precise measurements of high-energy gamma radiation from the W51 complex, confirming it as a cosmic-ray accelerator boosting particles up to so-called ultra-high energies (UHE, above 1014 electronvolts). The results also provide key evidence about the cosmic-ray acceleration limit in this complex. The Large High Altitude…
