Properties

Laccase are copper-containing oxidase enzymes that are found in many plants, fungi, and microorganisms. Laccases have been examined as the cathode in enzymatic biofuel cells.

They can be paired with an electron mediator to facilitate electron transfer to a solid electrode wire. Laccases are some of the few oxidoreductases commercialised as industrial catalysts.

The enzymes can be used for textile dyeing/textile finishing, wine cork making, teeth whitening, bakery and many other industrial, environmental, diagnostic, and synthetic uses. Laccases can be used in bioremediation.

Protein ligand docking can be used to predict the putative pollutants that can be degraded by laccase
