The minimal essential arthritogenic structures have been identified as PG-PS, the major structural components of Gram-positive bacterial cell walls [ 31].
Polysaccharides also function as major structural components in animals.
Lipids chiefly fats, phospholipids, and steroids are major structural components of the human body.
The long chain saturated fatty acids, with more than 20 carbons, are major structural components of plant cuticular lipids [26].
The PCCP is composed of three major structural components: concrete core, steel liner, and prestressed (PS) strands.
Previous studies have shown successful decellularization of human pericardium without affecting the major structural components and strength of the matrix.
In the precision manufacturing field, the major structural components are often made of rigid and massive elements.
Among these, celluloses are one of the major structural components which could be converted into fuel ethanol with the help of microbial cellulose degrading enzymes, namely cellulases.
Lipids function as an energy reservoir and serve as major structural components of biological membranes such as plasma membranes, membranes of intracellular organelles, and lipid transporters [3].
Claudins are major structural components of the TJ that determine the paracellular permeability of epithelial and endothelial cells (Farquhar and Palade, 1963; Bazzoni, 2006).
Xylan is one of the major structural components of plant cell walls and is the second most abundant renewable biomass resource (York and O'Neill [2008]).
