• Interactions of a fungal lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase with β-glucan substrates and cellobiose dehydrogenase 

      Courtade, Gaston; Wimmer, Reinhard; Kjendseth, Åsmund Røhr; Preims, Marita; Felice, Alfons K.G.; Dimarogona, Maria; Vaaje-Kolstad, Gustav; Sørlie, Morten; Sandgren, Mats; Ludwig, Roland; Eijsink, Vincent; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes that catalyze oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds using molecular oxygen and an external electron donor. We have used NMR and isothermal titration ...
    • A pair of esterases from a commensal gut bacterium remove acetylations from all positions on complex β-mannans 

      Michalak, Leszek; Leanti La Rosa, Sabina; Leivers, Shaun Allan; Lindstad, Lars Jordhøy; Kjendseth, Åsmund Røhr; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Westereng, Bjørge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      β-mannans and xylans are important components of the plant cell wall and they are acetylated to be protected from degradation by glycoside hydrolases. β-mannans are widely present in human and animal diets as fiber from ...
    • Polysaccharide degradation by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases 

      Forsberg, Zarah; Sørlie, Morten; Petrovic, Dejan; Courtade, Gaston; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Vaaje-Kolstad, Gustav; Bissaro, Bastien; Kjendseth, Åsmund Røhr; Eijsink, Vincent (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The discovery of oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds by enzymes currently known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has had a major impact on our current understanding of the enzymatic conversion of recalcitrant ...
