Discovered in 1883, laccase is one of the first enzymes ever described. Now, after almost
140 years of research, it seems that this copper-containing protein with a number of unique …

The global rise in urbanization and industrial activity has led to the production and
incorporation of foreign contaminant molecules into ecosystems, distorting them and …

On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Laccases are multicopper oxidoreductases considered by many in the biotechonology field
as the ultimate “green catalysts”. This is mainly due to their broad substrate specificity and …

Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) are a pervasive family of enzymes that oxidize a wide range of
phenolic and nonphenolic aromatic substrates, concomitantly with the reduction of dioxygen …

Laccase, a blue multicopper oxidase, has recently received considerable attention because
of its usefulness in oxidizing phenolic and non‐phenolic compounds, as well as its suitability …

The aim of this review is to determine the trends of state-of-art of laccase sources, properties,
structure and recent application of fungal laccase in various fields. Laccases are …

In the present study, the CotA protein from Bacillus licheniformis ANSB821 was cloned and
expressed in Escherichia coli. Apart from the laccase activities, we found that the …

Natural water sources are very often contaminated by municipal wastewater discharges
which contain either of xenobiotic pollutants and their sometimes more toxic degradation …

A novel extracellular thermo-alkali-stable laccase from Bacillus tequilensis SN4 (SN4LAC)
was purified to homogeneity. The laccase was a monomeric protein of molecular weight 32 …
