OxyMod research gives new opportunities for recirculating plastics
|
|
|
Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases (LPMOs) are unique mono-copper enzymes evolved to act on the surfaces of insoluble crystalline polysaccharides, such as cellulose. Ever since their discovery in 2010, it has been speculated whether these unique enzymes could act on, or be engineered to act on, other surfaces, including plastics.
Thanks to ten years of fundamental and applied research on LPMOs and recent insights generated in Digital Life’s OxyMod project, we now have a knowledge base that allows us to explore and evolve these enzymes for plastic recycling.
