Protein Family Models

Laccases are multi-copper oxidoreductases able to oxidise a wide variety of phenolic and non-phenolic compounds and are widely distributed among both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. There are two main active catalytic sites with conserved histidines that are capable of binding four copper atoms [1]. [1]. 16740638.
