Ligninolytic enzymes play a key role in degradation and detoxification of lignocellulosic
waste in environment. The major ligninolytic enzymes are laccase, lignin peroxidase …

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 (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10. 3.2) are multi-copper enzymes
which catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of phenolic and non-phenolic aromatic …

Essentially all bacteria have genes for toxic metal ion resistances and these include those
for Ag+, AsO2−, AsO4 3−, Cd2+, Co2+, CrO4 2−, Cu2+, Hg2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, TeO3 2−, Tl+ and …

Affinity tags are highly efficient tools for purifying proteins from crude extracts. To facilitate
the selection of affinity tags for purification projects, we have compared the efficiency of eight …

Bacterial contamination of touch surfaces poses a serious threat for public health. The use of
bactericidal surface materials, such as copper and its alloys, might constitute a way to aid …

Laccases (EC 1.10. 3.2) are multi-copper oxidases that catalyse the one-electron oxidation
of a broad range of compounds including substituted phenols, arylamines and aromatic …

Laccases and other four‐copper oxidases are usually constructed of three domains:
Domains one and three house the copper sites, and the second domain often helps form a …

A new laccase gene (cotA) was cloned from Bacillus licheniformis and expressed in
Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein CotA was purified and showed spectroscopic …

Copper plays a dual role as a nutrient and a toxin during bacterial infections. While
uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains can use the copper-binding metallophore …
