Abstract excerpt
Met467, the axial ligand to type I Cu in a multicopper oxidase, Myrothecium verrucaria bilirubin oxidase was substituted with a non-coordinating Phe and Leu to transform the spectral and magnetic properties and oxidase activities of the enzyme into those of fungal laccases, but the mutated type I Cu center showed properties characteristic of phytocyanins, blue copper proteins with an axial coordination of Gln,...
