  • enzymatic deconstruction process is supported by Fenton chemistry, i.e. transition metal-driven in situ generation of H2O2-derived hydroxyl radicals, one of the most powerful oxidizing species found on Earth
  • lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) (5), are single-copper redox enzymes (6, 7), that can hydroxylate the C1 or C4 positions of scissile glycosidic bonds (4, 8–10).
