The rate of reaction of LPMOs with hydrogen peroxide is high but it is accompa-nied by rapid inactivation of the enzymes, presumably through protein oxidation. Herein, we use UV/vis, CD, XAS, EPR, VT/VH-MCD and resonance Raman spectroscopies, augmented with mass spectrometry and DFT calculations, to show that the product of reaction of an AA9 LPMO with H2O2 at higher pHs is a singlet Cu(II)-tyrosyl radical species, which is inactive for the oxidation of saccharidic substrates. The Cu(II)-tyrosyl radical center entails the formation of significant Cu(II)-(●OTyr) overlap, which in turn requires that the plane of the d(x2-y2) SOMO of the Cu(II) is orientated towards the tyrosyl radical. We propose from the Marcus cross-relation that the active site tyrosine is part of a ‘hole-hopping’ charge-transfer mechanism formed of a pathway of conserved tyrosine and tryptophan residues, which can protect the protein active site from inactivation during uncoupled turnover.
