My research focuses on a family of enzymes named lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and their activity on recalcitrant polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin.
Paper I: ‘Controlled depolymerization of cellulose by light-driven lytic polysaccharide oxygenases’ published in Nat Comms 2020. Shared first author.
