Polysaccharide Monooxygenases

The lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper metalloenzymes that can enhance polysaccharide depolymerization through an oxidative mechanism and hence boost generation of biofuel from e.g. cellulose. By employing density functional theory in a combination of quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM), we report a complete description of the molecular mechanism of LPMOs.

Molecular Electron Density Theory

Conversion of N-trialkylsilyloxy nitronates into bicyclic isoxazoline derivatives has been explored using Density Functional Theory (DFT) method within the context of the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) at the B97XD(PCM)/6-311G(d,p)...
