Abstract

The laccase from the fungus Coprinus cinereus has been prepared and crystallized in a form suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis. Small plate-like crystals of an enzymatically deglycosylated form of the enzyme have been grown by the hanging-drop method using polyethylene glycol as precipitant. These crystals diffract to at least 2.2 Angstrom. They belong to the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with cell dimensions a = 45.4, b = 85.7, c = 143.1 Angstrom with a single molecule of laccase in the asymmetric unit.
