Copper is an important metal involed in multiple enzyme catalysed reactions as a cofactor.

Function

Multicopper oxidases are involved in copper homeostasis.Copper as many metal ions is used in multiple biological processes such as detoxification of oxygen free radicals and pigmentation. However copper present in a cell bot bounded to a protein if harmfull and can cause cellular damage. It need to be regulated. Multicopper oxidase might also be involved in the regulation of metal transport.

Disease

If the amino acids 500 and 501 are mutated from CH to SR, the residual activity and loss of resistance to copper. E. Coli die.
