CRYSTAL STRUCTURE DETERMINATION AT ROOM TEMPERATURE OF A LACCASE FROM TRAMETES VERSICOLOR IN ITS OXIDISED FORM CONTAINING A FULL COMPLEMENT OF COPPER IONS
Overview
Laccase is a polyphenol oxidase, which belongs to the family of blue, multicopper oxidases. These enzymes catalyze the one-electron oxidation of, four reducing-substrate molecules concomitant with the four-electron, reduction of molecular oxygen to water. Laccases oxidize a broad range of, substrates, preferably phenolic compounds. In the presence of mediators, fungal laccases exhibit an enlarged substrate range and are then able to, oxidize compounds with a redox potential exceeding their own. Until now, only one crystal structure of a laccase in an inactive, type-2, copper-depleted form has been reported. We present here the first crystal, structure of an active laccase containing a full complement of coppers, the complete polypeptide chain together with seven carbohydrate moieties., ...
