TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of pyranose dehydrogenase from Agaricus meleagris (AmPDH) and cellobiose deacetylase from Myriococcum thermophilum (MtCDH) was used as an anode for glucose biofuel cells.

TL;DR: The tentative determinant for discriminating between the two binding modes is the position of the O6 hydroxyl group, which in the C2-oxidation mode can make favorable interactions with Asp452 in the substrate loop and, possibly, a nearby arginine residue (Arg472).

TL;DR: Five different flexible osmium based redox polymers were investigated for their ability to efficiently "wire" the oxidoreductase pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH, EC 1.1.99) from Agaricus meleagris on graphite electrodes for possible applications in biofuel cells.

TL;DR: A homology model of PDH is constructed using the 3D structure of glucose oxidase from Aspergillus’niger as a template, which suggests a novel type of bi‐covalent flavinylation in PDH, 9‐S‐cysteinyl, 8‐α‐N3‐histidyl FAD.

TL;DR: The presented work reports the isolation and heterologous expression of the p2ox gene encoding the flavoprotein pyranose 2-oxidase (P2Ox) from the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and describes the physical and catalytic properties of this gene, both for electron donor (sugar substrates) and alternative electron acceptors.
