The discovery of oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds by enzymes currently known as lytic
polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has profoundly changed our current …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have an essential role in global carbon
cycle, industrial biomass processing and microbial pathogenicity by catalysing the oxidative …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are powerful monocopper enzymes that
can activate strong C–H bonds through a mechanism that remains largely unknown. Herein …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases have received significant attention as catalytic
convertors of biomass to biofuel. Recent studies suggest that its peroxygenase activity (ie …

Recent advances in amylolytic strain engineering for starch-to-ethanol conversion have
provided a platform for the development of raw starch consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) …

Fungal lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) depolymerise crystalline cellulose
and hemicellulose, supporting the utilisation of lignocellulosic biomass as a feedstock for …

The field of enzymatic degradation of lignocellulose is actively growing and the recent
updates of the last few years indicate that there is still much to learn. The growing number of …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs, also called PMOs) are key enzymes in the
biological degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides, such as chitin and cellulose. 1− 17 …

Hydrogen peroxide is a cosubstrate for the oxidative cleavage of saccharidic substrates by
copper-containing lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). The rate of reaction of …

The recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass is a major constraint to its high-value use at
industrial scale. In nature, microbes play a crucial role in biomass degradation, nutrient …
