  1. Influence of structure on de degradation with lacase mediator systems. A new laccase was purified from Trametes hirsuta IMA2002. The laccase had a molecular mass of 62 kDa and an isoelectric point of pH 7. It had an optimum pH of 3.0 and an optimum temperature of 558C. The laccase was quite stable at 308C and pH 4.0 with a half-life of more than 100 hours. On ABTS, yringaldazide, and DMP the laccase showed KM and Kcat values of 75, 12 and 37 mM and 64, 83 and 54 s_1,. 2004.
