Auxiliary Activity Family 13

Activities in FamilyAA13 proteins are copper-dependent lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs); cleavage of starch with oxidation of C-1 at the site of cleavage has been demonstrated for the LPMO encoded by gene NCU08746 from Neurospora crassa; lytic starch monooxygenase / starch oxidase (glycosidic bond-cleaving) (EC 1.14.99.55)
Mechanism monooxygenase
