Journal Article
Paradisi, A., Johnston, E. M., Tovborg, M., Nicoll, C. R., Ciano, L., Dowle, A., …Walton, P. H. (2019). Formation of a Copper(II)–Tyrosyl Complex at the Active Site of Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases Following Oxidation by H2O2. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 141(46), 18585-18599. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.9b09833

Hydrogen peroxide is a cosubstrate for the oxidative cleavage of saccharidic substrates by copper-containing lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). The rate of reaction of LPMOs with hydrogen peroxide is high, but it is accompanied by rapid in...
