Structure of native laccase from Trametes hirsuta at 1.8 A resolution.

This paper describes the structural analysis of the native form of laccase from Trametes hirsuta at 1.8 A resolution. This structure provides a basis for the elucidation of the mechanism of catalytic action of these ubiquitous proteins. The 1.8 A resolution native structure provided a good level of structural detail compared with many previously reported laccase structures. A brief comparison with the active sites of other laccases is given.
