Structure of a Thermobifida fusca lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase and mutagenesis of key residues

Abstract Background Auxiliary activity (AA) enzymes are produced by numerous bacterial and fungal species to assist in the degradation of biomass. These enzymes are abundant but have yet to be fully characterized. Here, we report the X-ray structure of Thermobifida fusca AA10A (TfAA10A), investigate...
