TLDR
It is speculated that structural differences in the substrate-activation site (a 'blue', type 1 copper center) control the redox potential range as well as substrate specificity, and the cystine content contributes to stability.About:

Fungal laccases - occurrence and properties.
TL;DR: The fact that laccases only require molecular oxygen for catalysis makes them suitable for biotechnological applications for the transformation or immobilization of xenobiotic compounds.

Crystal structure of a laccase from the fungus Trametes versicolor at 1.90-A resolution containing a full complement of coppers.
TL;DR: This work presents the first crystal structure of an active laccase containing a full complement of coppers, the complete polypeptide chain together with seven carbohydrate moieties, and a mechanism is presented to explain how laccases could tune their redox potential by as much as 200 mV.

Electron transfers in chemistry and biology
Rudolph A. Marcus,Norman Sutin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the electron transfer reactions between ions and molecules in solution have been the subject of considerable experimental study during the past three decades, including charge transfer, photoelectric emission spectra, chemiluminescent electron transfer, and electron transfer through frozen media.
