Every year, seafood waste produced globally contains about 10 million tons of wasted crab, shrimp and lobster shells, which are rich in chitin resources. The exploitation and utilization of chitin resources are of great significance to environmental protection, economic development and sustainable development. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) can catalyze polysaccharides by oxidative breakage of glycosidic bonds and have catalytic activity for chitin and cellulose, so they play an important role in the transformation of refractory polysaccharides into biomass. Although there have been many studies related to LPMOs, the research related to lytic chitin monooxygenases (LCMs) is still very limited. The specific catalytic mechanism of LCMs has not been fully elucidated, which poses a challenge to their application in industrial biomass conversion. This review introduces the present situation of resource development and utilization in chitin, the origin and classification of different LCMs families, the structural characteristics of LCMs and the relationship between structure and function. The research results related to activity detection, screening, preparation and transformation of LCMs were summarized and discussed. Finally, the synergistic effect of LCMs and chitin enzyme on biomass degradation was reviewed, and the existing problems and future research directions were pointed out. This is the first review focusing on Chitin-Active LPMOs in recent years, intending to provide a reference for applying chitin degradation enzymes system in the industry.
