Expanding Aldopentose Catalysis of a Novel PQQ-Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase without Compromising Native d-Glucose Activity.

Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant renewable resource that is rich in aldohexoses and aldopentoses. Efficient biocatalysts for aldopentose oxidation remain limited, and few enzymes exhibit high catalytic efficiency toward both aldohexoses and aldopentoses. Here, a naturally promiscuous pyrroloquinoline quinone-depe...
