Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-containing enzymes that oxidatively break down recalcitrant polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin. Since their discovery, LPMOs have become integral factors in the industrial utilization o... Read More about The molecular basis of polysaccharide cleavage by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases.
