Definitions

  • the present invention relates to laccase mutants with improved stability properties.
  • Laccase is a polyphenol oxidase (EC 1.10.3.2) which catalyses the oxidation of a variety of inorganic and aromatic compounds, particularly phenols, with the concomitant reduction of molecular oxygen to water.
  • Laccase belongs to a family of blue copper-containing oxidases which includes ascorbate oxidase and the mammalian plasma protein ceruloplasmin. All these enzymes are multi-copper- containing proteins.
