Table 2 Total fibril cellulose surface area (\(A_T\)), cellulose–enzyme contact area (\(A_E\)), cellulose–lignin contact area (\(A_L\)), and their corresponding ratios (\(A_E/A_T)\) and (\(A_L/A_T\)) for the three initial cellulose–lignin fibril combinations: CH (crystalline cellulose, high lignin coverage), CL (crystalline cellulose, low lignin coverage), and NonC (non-crystalline cellulose, high lignin coverage)
