Abstract
LPMOs (Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases) are metalloenzymes that depend on the presence of a copper atom in their active site, which needs to be reduced by an electron donor to initiate the catalysis process. Among the redox partners for LPMOs are several low molecular weight molecules (ascorbic acid, for example), photoactivated pigments, lignin or enzymes such as cellobiose dehydroge…
