Three-dimensional structure of a typical LPMO and its active site. a The crystal structure and b details of the catalytic center of a cellulose-active family AA9 LPMO from the fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus, TaLPMO9A (also known as TaGH61A; [5], PDB ID: 2YET). The crystal structure is displayed in cartoon representation. The active site residues are shown as sticks with pink colored carbon atoms. The copper atom is shown as a golden sphere and water molecules coordinated by the copper atom are shown as red colored spheres. b A close up of the active site
