Controlled depolymerization of cellulose by light-driven lytic polysaccharide oxygenases

Lytic polysaccharide (mono)oxygenases (LPMOs) perform oxidative cleavage of polysaccharides. Here, the authors showed that the light-driven activity of LPMOs is dependent on hydrogen peroxide availability and can be controlled via the light intensity provided.
