Polysaccharide degradation by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2019
The discovery of oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds by enzymes currently known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has had a major impact on our current understanding of the enzymatic conversion of recalcitrant polysaccharides such as chitin and cellulose.
