The primary structure of cellulose sythase is a long chain of glucose units <ref> doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2022.102273 </ref>. It is attached through Beta(1,4) linkages which appear to be like a sheet <ref> doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2022.102273 </ref>. These features can all be seen in the rotating figure above. | The primary structure of cellulose sythase is a long chain of glucose units <ref> doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2022.102273 </ref>.

Beta linkages form Beta sheets, 6 stranded beta sheets to be exact along with the beta sheets there can be found the 5 alpha helices. These chains form hydrogen bonds with each other forming microfibrils helping to create the overall strength and stability of cellulose <ref> doi: 10.1093/femsre/fuab051 </ref>. Though much research has been done, the tertiary structure of cellulose synthase has been difficult to find because of complications with things like purification of the active enzyme, and the overall difficulty of crystalizing plant cellulose synthase. | Beta linkages form Beta sheets, 6 stranded beta sheets to be exact along with the beta sheets there can be found the 5 <scene name='91/919049/Helix/1'>alpha helices</scene>.
