Lytic Polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides in the presence of H2O2 or molecular oxygen paired with a reductant. LPMOs have an essential role in biomass saccharification in biorefineries, as they break down the recalcitrant crystalline substrates such as cellulose and chitin, which enable glycoside hydrolases to depolymerize the substrate into glucose units. This thesis was written as part of a larger research project where the objective was to acquire knowledge of the molecular mechanism of LPMO activity. The work in this thesis provides site-directed mutagenesis data for probing the roles of glutamate (Glu217) and arginine (Arg212) in ...
