Chitin and its N-deacetylated derivative chitosan are two biological polymers that have
found numerous applications in recent years, but their further deployment suffers from …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper enzymes discovered within the
last 10 years. By degrading recalcitrant substrates oxidatively, these enzymes are major …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) can perform oxidative cleavage of
glycosidic bonds in carbohydrate polymers (eg, cellulose, chitin), making them more …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are relatively new enzymes that have been
discovered 10 years ago. LPMOs comprise a diverse group of enzymes which play a pivotal …

Chitin nanofibril-based flame retardant was developed by disintegrating chitin by ball-mill,
followed by phosphorylation with P2O5. The combustion performance of the paper loaded …

Organisms require the ability to differentiate themselves from organisms of different or even
the same species. Allorecognition processes in filamentous fungi are essential to ensure …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) can catalyze polysaccharides by oxidative
cleavage of glycosidic bonds and have catalytic activity for cellulose, hemicellulose, chitin …

Abstract Background Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMOs) are enzymes that
catalyze the breakdown of polysaccharides in biomass and have excellent potential for …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) catalyze the oxidation of β-(1, 4)-linked
polysaccharides, such as cellulose, in a reaction that requires an electron donor and H2O2 …

The tunicate species Ciona intestinalis is a fast-growing marine invertebrate animal that
contains cellulose in its outer part—the tunic. The high crystallinity and microfibril aspect …
