Abstract: In nature, laccases play an important role in degrading lignin. However,the abilities to degrading lignin by different laccases vary widely, which depend on the structure of laccases, especially the structure of the tri nuclear copper site. This text summarizes the studies on the structure of the active site and the characteristics of laccases in the past ten years.

Key words: laccase, active site, characterization, white rot fungus
