Discovery and characterization of cellulose-active lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
Forsberg, Zarah Kristina (PhD Thesis;2014:62, Doctoral thesis, 2014)The efficient depolymerization of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars by enzymatic hydrolysis is a key step in the transition towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable bio-economy. However, the ... -
The effect of lignin in light-driven photobiocatalytic LPMO reactions
Angeltveit, Camilla Fløien (Master thesis, 2020)Our understanding of enzymatic hydrolysis of recalcitrant polysaccharides was revolutionized when lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) were discovered by Vaaje-Kolstad et al. in 2010. LPMOs are copper-dependent redox ... -
Effekten av eggeskallmembranpulver og dens derivater på fibroblastaktivitet som er viktig for sårheling
Brathagen, Kristiane (Master thesis, 2017)Sår som ikke vil gro er en av de største økonomiske utgiftene innen medisin i dag, og med en økning av den eldre befolkningen er det forventet at det vil skje en økning i pasienter med kroniske sår. Eggeskallmembranen som ... -
Kinetic investigations of the oxidative cleavage of oligomeric carbohydrates provide novel insights into the catalytic action of fungal lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
