RESUMO
Laccases (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductases; EC 1.10.3.2) are copper-containing polyphenol oxidases that can oxidize a wide range of aromatic compounds, concomitantly with the transfer of four electrons and the reduction of molecular oxygen to water. The progress on the research of laccases structure and function is reviewed. Their three-dimensional structures and catalytic mechanism, as well as their applications in different fields are emphasized.
