Assessing the role of redox partners in TthLPMO9G and its mutants: focus on H2O2 production and interaction with cellulose | Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
The field of enzymology has been profoundly transformed by the discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). LPMOs hold a unique role in the natural breakdown of recalcitrant polymers like cellulose and chitin. They are characterized by a “histidine brace” in their active site, known to operate via an O2/H2O2 mechanism and require an electron source for catalytic activity. Although significant research has been conducted in the field, the relationship between these enzymes, their electron donors, and H2O2 production remains complex and multifaceted. This study examines ...
