Laccase
Laccase is a polyphenol oxidase containing copper, which is divided to two
categories,
Rhus
LaC and fungal LaC, mainly derived from the lacquer and fungi,
respectively. Because the fungal LaC had a higher sugar content, LaC crystals were
prepared from
Coprinopsis cinereus
bacteria until 1998, which provided a more
detailed understanding of spatial structure (Fig.

)[

]. A single LaC molecule
is made up of three cup-shaped domains, which are closely connected to form a
