An ancient family of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases with roles in arthropod development and biomass digestion

An ancient family of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases with roles in arthropod development and biomass digestion

LPMOs catalyze the oxidative breakdown of polysaccharides, thereby facilitating biomass degradation. By analyzing the digestive proteome of firebrats, the authors here identify a yet uncharacterized LPMO family and provide phylogenetic, structural and biochemical insights into its origin and functio...
