Regioselectivity of oxidation by a polysaccharide monooxygenase from Chaetomium thermophilum

Abstract Background Polysaccharide monooxygenases (PMOs) of the auxiliary activity 9 (AA9) family have been reported to oxidize C1, C4, and C6 positions in cellulose. However, currently no direct evidence exists that PMOs oxidize C6 positions in cellulose, and molecular mechanism of C1, C4 and C6 ox...
