A colorimetric assay to rapidly determine the activities of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases

Abstract Background Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMOs) are enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of polysaccharides in biomass and have excellent potential for biorefinery applications. However, their activities are relatively low, and methods to measure these activities are costly, tedious or...
