Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases: a crystallographer's view on a new class of biomass-degrading enzymes

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are a new class of microbial copper enzymes involved in the degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides. They have only been discovered and characterized in the last 5–10 years and have stimulated strong interest both in biotechnology and in bioinorganic c...
