LPMO reaction scheme. Depending on the specific LPMO and the available conditions, one of several reactions may take place. Initial reduction (a) and substrate binding (b) is followed by the formation of oxidized or non-oxidized chain ends depending on the specfic LPMO, using H2O2 (c) or O2 (d) as a co-substrate. Oxidizing reactions may also occur in the presence of small molecues (e). In the presence of O2 but without substrate, the LPMO may produce H2O2 (f). |
