Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LMPO) that depolymerizes crystalline and amorphous polysaccharides via the oxidation of scissile alpha- or beta-(1-4)-glycosidic bonds, yielding C4 oxidation products (PubMed:31431506). Catalysis by LPMOs requires the reduction of the active-site copper from Cu(II) to Cu(I) by a reducing agent and H(2)O(2) or O(2) as a cosubstrate (PubMed:31431506). Active on tamarind xyloglucan and konjac glucomannan (PubMed:31431506).
