Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) is an enzyme that has enormous potential for industrial applications. It has a synergistic effect with the cellulase enzyme complex. The LPMO enzymes typically adopt a compact {beta}-sandwich fold that consists of a 7 to 9 {beta}-strand with a flat active site containing copper in its active site. There are a few loops in LPMO, among them the L2 loop is reported to take a key role in shaping the active site and substrate binding. Now, in this work, we want to investigate the role of the L2 loop in enzymatic activity and synergistic effect. In achieving our goal, we have replaced the L2 loop of our concerning AfLPMO16 with other L2 loops from different LPMOs: HiLPMO9B (PDB: 5NNS), McLPMO9 (PDB: 7NTL) and CsLPMO9 (PDB: 7EXK). Interestingly, L2 loop replacement from CsLPMO9 (PDB: 7EXK) showed enhanced activity and synergism compared to others. The secondary structural analysis by circular dichroism also suggested that it changed the structure significantly. Moreover, this is the first report of complete L2 loop engineering in LPMO.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
