The virtual enzyme lab: boosting advanced biofuels

The virtual enzyme lab: boosting advanced biofuels

The discovery of the enzyme family lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) fundamentally changed our view on how nature breaks down biomass, and the potential implications for biofuel production. Yet, the mechanism behind this breakdown has not yet been mapped. In this project, novel theoretical models will be developed to predict the function of LPMOs and how they can facilitate efficient biofuel production. The grant will fund a PhD student and a postdoc.
