Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) constitute an enigmatic class of enzymes,
the discovery of which has opened up a new arena of riveting research. LPMOs can …

The pretreatment and the enzymatic saccharification are the key steps in the extraction of
fermentable sugars for further valorization of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) to biofuels and …

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 …

Given that traditional biorefineries have been based on microbial fermentation to produce
useful fuels, materials, and chemicals as metabolites, saccharification is an important step to …

This review is the tenth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper enzymes that today comprise a
large enzyme superfamily, grouped into the distinct members AA9–AA17 (with AA12 …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes which
catalyze the oxidative cleavage of polysaccharides. LPMOs belonging to family 15 in the …

Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases (LPMOs) catalyze the oxidative depolymerization of
polysaccharides at a monocopper active site, that is coordinated by the so-called histidine …

Oxidoreductases have evolved tyrosine/tryptophan pathways that channel highly oxidizing
holes away from the active site to avoid damage. Here we dissect such a pathway in a …

Understanding the structure and function of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs),
copper enzymes that degrade recalcitrant polysaccharides, requires the reliable atomistic …
