This project investigates lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases, enzymes that improve the breakdown of tough plant materials for biofuel production. By creating biomimetic models of these enzymes, the research aims to enhance understanding of their function and facilitate the development of more efficient catalysts.
The high stability of components like cellulose limit the efficiency and cost effectiveness of biofuel or chemical production from lignocellulosic biomass.
Thus, the ability of the recently discovered class of metalloenzymes, lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMO), to enhance the efficiency of recalcitrant polysaccharide degradation makes understanding these enzymes invaluable for carbon friendly sustainable chemical and energy development as prioritized under the Horizon2020 program.
