The purification protocol involved ammonium sulfate saturation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, SP-Sepharose, and Q-Sepharose, and gel filtration by fast protein liquid chromatography on Superdex 75."

"It was a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 62 kDa as estimated by SOS-PAGE. Its N-terminal amino acid sequence was DIGPVTPLAI, which exhibited partial sequence homology to those of published mushroom laccases. Its optimum pH was 3.0 and its optimum temperature was 60 degrees C. It manifested...
