      Jensen, Marianne Slang; Klinkenberg, Geir; Bissaro, Bastien; Chylenski, Piotr; Vaaje-Kolstad, Gustav; Kvitvang, Hans Fredrik Nyvold; Nærdal, Guro Kruge; Sletta, Håvard; Forsberg, Zarah; Eijsink, Vincent (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) catalyze oxidative cleavage of recalcitrant polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin and play an important role in the enzymatic degradation of biomass. While it is clear ...
