• 1H, 13C, 15N resonance assignment of the apo form of the small, chitin-active lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase JdLPMO10A from Jonesia denitrificans 

      Christensen, Idd Andrea; Eijsink, Vincent; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Courtade, Gaston (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-19)
      The lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase <i>Jd</i>LPMO10A is the N-terminal domain of the multimodular protein Jd1381. The isolated <i>Jd</i>LPMO10A domain is one of the smallest chitin-active lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases known to date with a size of only 15.5 kDa. <i>Jd</i>LPMO10A is a copper-dependent oxidative enzyme that depolymerizes chitin by hydroxylating the C1 carbon in the glycosidic ...
    • Structural and functional variation of chitin-binding domains of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase from Cellvibrio japonicus 

      Madland, Eva; Forsberg, Zarah; Wang, Yong; Lindorff-Larsen, Kresten; Niebisch, Axel; Modregger, Jan; Eijsink, Vincent; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Courtade, Gaston (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-17)
      Among the extensive repertoire of carbohydrate-active enzymes, lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have a key role in recalcitrant biomass degradation. LPMOs are copper-dependent enzymes that catalyze oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin. Several LPMOs contain carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) that are known to promote LPMO efficiency. ...
    • Visible light-exposed lignin facilitates cellulose solubilization by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases 

      Kommedal, Eirik; Angeltveit, Camilla Fløien; Klau, Leesa Jane; Ayuso-Fernandez, Ivan; Arstad, Bjørnar; Antonsen, Simen; Stenstrøm, Yngve; Ekeberg, Dag; Gírio, Francisco; Carvalheiro, Florbela; Horn, Svein Jarle; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Eijsink, Vincent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-24)
      Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) catalyze oxidative cleavage of crystalline polysaccharides such as cellulose and are crucial for the conversion of plant biomass in Nature and in industrial applications. Sunlight promotes microbial conversion of plant litter; this effect has been attributed to photochemical degradation of lignin, a major redox-active component of secondary plant cell walls ...
