We know that blood plasma contains many proteins and also other components that bind
copper. The largest contributor to copper in the plasma is ceruloplasmin, which accounts for …

Multi-copper oxidases (MCOs) are a small group of enzymes that oxidize their substrate with
the concomitant reduction of dioxygen to two water molecules. Generally, multi-copper …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the CNS. Cuprizone (CZ), a
copper chelator, is widely used to study demyelination and remyelination in the CNS, in the …

A method is presented for automated best-matching alignment of three-dimensional models
represented by ensembles of points. A normalized spatial discrepancy (NSD) is introduced …

Laccases are multicopper oxidases that catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of phenols or
arylamines, and their use in industrial oxidative processes is increasing. We purified from …

The immunomodulatory and antimicrobial properties of zinc and copper have long been
appreciated. In addition, these metal ions are also essential for microbial growth and …

The multicopper oxidases contain at least four copper atoms and catalyze the four-electron
reduction of O2 to H2O at a trinuclear copper cluster. An intermediate, termed native …

This Handbook on Metalloproteins focuses on the available structural information of proteins
and their metal ion coordination spheres. It centers on the metal ions indispensable for life …

Specialised copper sites have been recruited during evolution to provide long-range
electron transfer reactivity and oxygen binding and activation in proteins destined to cope …

A great deal has been learned about the behaviour of monoamine oxidase in the 75 years
since it was first discovered, but there is still a great deal left to understand. This review …
