Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are a class of copper-dependent enzymes that oxidatively degrade polysaccharides and find use in industrial processing of lignocellulose. Crystallographic and spectroscopic studies define how LPMOs recognize their oligosaccharide substrates and mediate oxidative cleavage.
